[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree irrigation technology, and in particular to an underground automatic micro-irrigation device for fruit trees. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit trees refer to trees with edible fruits. They are a general term for perennial plants and rootstocks that provide edible fruits and seeds. Fruit trees require irrigation during planting. Water is an important factor for crop growth, but traditional irrigation methods do not take into account crop growth and root development, resulting in extremely low water use efficiency.

[0003] In recent years, agricultural water-saving irrigation has developed rapidly. The irrigation equipment used in water-saving irrigation includes sprinkler irrigation, micro-sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, seepage irrigation, or underground drip irrigation.

[0004] Currently, existing underground irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation systems, mostly require pre-burying underground. When buried, the soil can clog the irrigation holes, and irrigation cannot be based on the soil moisture level, resulting in low irrigation efficiency and increased irrigation costs. Therefore, an automatic underground micro-irrigation device for fruit trees is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an underground automatic micro-irrigation device for fruit trees to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial alternative.

Water guiding holes are uniformly formed on the lower surface of the rubber arc-shaped tube. Both ends of the rubber arc-shaped tube are sealed. Micro-irrigation components are uniformly attached to the outer wall of the rubber arc-shaped tube. The micro-irrigation components include an arc-shaped operating block, a blind tube, a soil moisture sensor, a first ring, and a second ring. The outer wall of the arc-shaped operating block has an arc-shaped through-hole, and the inner bottom wall of the arc-shaped through-hole has a liquid guiding cavity. The rubber arc-shaped tube passes through the arc-shaped through-hole, and the outer wall of the rubber arc-shaped tube is attached to the inner wall of the arc-shaped through-hole. The rubber arc-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped through-hole. Several... The water-guiding through hole is connected to the corresponding liquid-guiding cavity; the top end of the blind tube passes through the arc-shaped operating block, and the blind tube and the arc-shaped operating block are integrally formed, and the blind tube is connected to the liquid-guiding cavity; the soil moisture sensor is set at the bottom end of the blind tube, and the first ring is set above the second ring; the outer wall of the water-guiding cone is uniformly provided with inclined water spray holes, and the first ring and the second ring are both set on the outer wall of the blind tube; the outer wall of the second ring is respectively provided with a first conical part and a second conical part, and the outer wall of the first ring is respectively provided with a third conical part and a fourth conical part; the size of the second ring is larger than that of the first ring, and the second conical part and the third conical part are in a parallel state.

[0007] In some embodiments, a rubber arc-shaped baffle is provided on the upper surface of the rubber arc-shaped tube.

[0008] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the arc-shaped operating block is provided with a U-shaped plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, a water-guiding cone is provided on the inner bottom wall of the blind pipe.

[0011] In some embodiments, a controller is provided on the outer wall of the second pipe body, and the controller is electrically connected to the solenoid valve via an electrical wire.

[0012] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0013] I. This utility model involves personnel stepping on an arc-shaped operating block, which causes the blind tube and soil moisture sensor to be inserted into the soil. The blind tube then moves the second and first ring bodies into the soil. The first conical part on the second ring body assists in moving the second ring body downwards, facilitating the expulsion of soil. The fourth conical part on the first ring body assists in moving the blind tube upwards, also expelling soil. The second and third conical parts on the second ring body form an irrigation channel, preventing soil from clogging the inclined spray holes. Water in the rubber arc-shaped tube is transferred to the blind tube through the water guide hole and liquid guide cavity. The water in the blind tube is then sprayed out through the inclined spray holes, ensuring irrigation efficiency.

[0014] II. This utility model uses a soil moisture sensor to detect the soil moisture level. When the soil moisture level detected by the soil moisture sensor is below a minimum threshold, the soil moisture sensor controls the solenoid valve to open via the controller, so that water in the second pipe can be transferred through the first pipe to the rubber arc-shaped pipe for irrigation. When the soil moisture level detected by the soil moisture sensor is above the maximum threshold, the soil moisture sensor controls the solenoid valve to close via the controller, so that automatic irrigation can be performed according to the soil moisture level.

The rubber arc-shaped tube 1 passes through the arc-shaped through-hole 6, and the outer wall of the rubber arc-shaped tube 1 is attached to the inner wall of the arc-shaped through-hole 6. The rubber arc-shaped tube 1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped through-hole 6. Several water guiding holes 7... The blind tube 21 is connected to the corresponding liquid guiding cavity 5. The top end of the blind tube 21 passes through the arc-shaped operating block 20, and the blind tube 21 and the arc-shaped operating block 20 are integrally formed. The blind tube 21 is connected to the liquid guiding cavity 5. The soil moisture sensor 22 is set at the bottom end of the blind tube 21. The first ring body 23 is set above the second ring body 24. The outer wall of the water guiding cone block 13 is evenly provided with inclined water spray holes 8.

The outer wall of the first ring body 23 is provided with a third cone-shaped part 11 and a fourth cone-shaped part 12, respectively. The size of the second ring body 24 is larger than that of the first ring body 23. The second cone-shaped part 10 and the third cone-shaped part 11 are in a parallel state.

[0032] In this embodiment, specifically, a rubber arc-shaped shield 4 is provided on the upper surface of the rubber arc-shaped tube 1. The rubber arc-shaped shield 4 is used to wrap the trunk of the fruit tree and can cover and moisturize the soil.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically, the upper surface of the arc-shaped operating block 20 is provided with a U-shaped plate 3. With the above arrangement, relevant personnel can place their feet on the arc-shaped operating block 20 and insert them into the U-shaped plate 3. Then, the relevant personnel lift their feet so that the instep of their feet contacts the U-shaped plate 3, and the feet drive the U-shaped plate 3 to move upward, and the U-shaped plate 3 drives the arc-shaped operating block 20 to move upward.

[0034] In this embodiment, specifically, a water-guiding cone 13 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the blind pipe 21. The water-guiding cone 13 is used to guide the water in the blind pipe 21 to the inclined spray hole 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, specifically, the outer wall of the rubber arc tube 1 is penetrated by a first tube body 14, which is connected to the interior of the rubber arc tube 1. The first tube body 14 is fixedly connected to the rubber arc tube 1. A second tube body 15 is provided at the end of the first tube body 14 away from the rubber arc tube 1. A solenoid valve 16 is provided on the outer wall of the second tube body 15. When the soil moisture sensor 22 detects that the soil moisture level is lower than the minimum threshold, the soil moisture sensor 22 controls the solenoid valve 16 to open through the controller 17, so that the water in the second tube body 15 can be transferred to the rubber arc tube 1 through the first tube body 14. The water in the rubber arc tube 1 is transferred to the blind tube 21 through the water guide hole 7 and the liquid guide cavity 5. The water in the blind tube 21 is sprayed out through the inclined spray hole 8 for irrigation. When the soil moisture sensor 22 detects that the soil moisture level is higher than the maximum threshold, the soil moisture sensor 22 controls the solenoid valve 16 to close through the controller 17, thereby intercepting the water in the second tube body 15.

[0036] In this embodiment, specifically, a controller 17 is provided on the outer wall of the second tube 15, and the controller 17 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 16 via wires.

The first conical part 9 on the second ring body 24 assists in its downward movement, facilitating the expulsion of soil. The second conical part 10 on the second ring body 24 and the third conical part 11 on the first ring body 23 form an irrigation channel, preventing soil from clogging the inclined spray holes 8. The water then flows through the soil... The humidity sensor 22 detects the soil moisture level. When the soil moisture level detected by the soil moisture sensor 22 is below the minimum threshold, the soil moisture sensor 22 controls the solenoid valve 16 to open through the controller 17, so that the water in the second pipe 15 can be transferred to the rubber arc pipe 1 through the first pipe 14. The water in the rubber arc pipe 1 is transferred to the blind pipe 21 through the water guide hole 7 and the liquid guide cavity 5. The water in the blind pipe 21 is sprayed out through the inclined spray hole 8 for irrigation. When the soil moisture sensor 22 detects that the soil moisture level is above the maximum threshold, the soil moisture sensor 22 controls the solenoid valve 16 to close through the controller 17, so that the water in the second pipe 15 is intercepted.

[0038] When it is necessary to remove it, the relevant personnel can place their feet on the arc-shaped operating block 20 and insert them into the U-shaped plate 3. Then, the relevant personnel lift their feet so that the instep of their feet contacts the U-shaped plate 3. The feet drive the U-shaped plate 3 to move upward, and the U-shaped plate 3 drives the arc-shaped operating block 20 to move upward. The arc-shaped operating block 20 drives the blind tube 21, soil moisture sensor 22, first ring 23 and second ring 24 to move upward. The first ring 23 drives the fourth conical part 12 to move upward. The fourth conical part 12 is used to squeeze the soil outward, which facilitates the upward movement of the blind tube 21 and can prevent soil from clogging the inclined water spray hole 8.
