Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an efficient automated irrigation device for sweet potato planting, including a frame 1 and multiple nozzle mechanisms 5;

[0020] A fertilizer box 2 is fixedly connected to the rear of the upper surface of the frame 1. A mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the frame 1. A horizontally arranged irrigation pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting frame 3. Multiple nozzle mechanisms 5 are all located on the rear surface of the irrigation pipe 4. The fertilizer box 2 and the irrigation pipe 4 are connected. A movable structure is provided at the bottom end of the frame 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, the device moves via a movable structure at the bottom of the frame. During the movement, the fertilizer inside the fertilizer tank 2 is transported to the inside of the irrigation pipe 4 and sprayed outward through multiple nozzle mechanisms 5 for irrigation.

[0022] Furthermore, the structures of the multiple nozzle mechanisms 5 are all the same. One of the nozzle mechanisms 5 includes an outer sleeve 51 that is connected to the rear surface of the irrigation pipe 4 and has an open outer end. A sliding tube 52 is slidably connected to the inside of the outer sleeve 51. Multiple rows of spray holes 53 are opened through the outer surface of the sliding tube 52 along its length. The rear part of the outer surface of the outer sleeve 51 protrudes outward to form multiple convex frames 54 that correspond to the multiple rows of spray holes 53. A spring 55 is fixedly connected inside each of the multiple convex frames 54. A movable bead 56 that matches the inner diameter of the spray hole 53 is fixedly connected to the inner end of each of the multiple springs 55.

[0023] A liquid pump 8 is installed at the rear of the frame 1. The inlet of the liquid pump 8 is connected to the fertilizer tank 2 by a first conveying pipe 9, and the outlet of the liquid pump 8 is connected to the irrigation pipe 4 by a second conveying pipe 10.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the device is performing irrigation, fertilizer is pumped from inside the fertilizer tank 2 into the irrigation pipe 4 through the liquid pump 8, the first feed pipe 9, and the second feed pipe 10. Then, under the action of pressure, the sliding tube 52 in the nozzle mechanism 5 is pushed outward. During the process of the sliding tube 52 being pushed outward, when the nozzle 53 on its surface moves to the position of the movable bead 56, part of the movable bead 56 will enter the interior of the nozzle 53 under the action of the spring 55, thereby clearing the blocked nozzle 53 and ensuring the irrigation effect of the device.

[0025] Furthermore, the outer end of the outer sleeve 51 is tapered inward to form an inner shrinkage ring 57, and both ends of the sliding tube 52 are fixedly connected with limiting rings 58 whose outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the inner shrinkage ring 57.

[0026] In this embodiment, the limiting ring 58 and the inner retraction ring 57 cooperate to limit the sliding tube 52, so that it cannot retract into the irrigation tube 4 or detach from the outer end of the outer tube 51.

[0027] Furthermore, the rear ends of the multiple sliding tubes 52 are laterally fixedly connected with connecting strips 6, and both sides of the rear end surface of the connecting strips 6 are fixedly connected with downwardly extending slide plates 7.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the device is running, the sliding plate 7 will come into contact with the ground, thereby pulling the connecting strip 6 backward under the action of friction, thus pulling the sliding tube 52 outward, preventing the sliding tube 52 from failing to leak due to insufficient water pressure.

[0029] After the device is used, push the connecting bar 6 to push the sliding tube 52 into the inner part of the outer tube 51 for easy use next time.

[0030] Furthermore, the mobile structure includes multiple movable wheels 11 located at the front and rear of the bottom end of the frame 1, a steering wheel is provided at the front end of the frame 1, and a seat 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 1 and located in front of the fertilizer box 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, a power structure is also provided at the bottom of the frame 1 to drive the moving wheel 11 to rotate. The moving wheel 11 at the front is mutually driven with the steering wheel. Its structure is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The seat 12 makes it convenient for people to sit on the device and control the movement of the device.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After the utility model is installed, the device moves through the moving structure at the bottom of the frame. During the movement, the fertilizer inside the fertilizer tank 2 is transported to the irrigation pipe 4 and sprayed outward through multiple nozzle mechanisms 5 for irrigation. When the device is irrigating, the fertilizer is pumped from the fertilizer tank 2 into the irrigation pipe 4 through the liquid pump 8, the first conveying pipe 9 and the second conveying pipe 10. Then, under the action of pressure, the sliding tube 52 in the nozzle mechanism 5 is pushed outward. During the process of the sliding tube 52 being pushed outward, when the spray hole 53 on its surface moves to the position of the movable bead 56, part of the movable bead 56 will enter the spray hole 53 under the action of the spring 55, thereby clearing the blocked spray hole 53 and ensuring the irrigation effect of the device.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
