Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation technology, and in particular to a gateway for an irrigation device. Background Technology

[0002] The gateway of an irrigation system is typically a waterproof and dustproof enclosure housing a communication system. It receives user-defined program commands or signals from smart devices. By setting the opening and closing times of solenoid valves, it achieves precise and automatic management of the irrigation water source and supports multi-zone control, serving as the core central hub of an automated irrigation system.

[0003] Even during non-irrigation periods, the gateway of existing irrigation devices still requires continuous power to maintain program operation, signal reception, and remote standby connection for its microprocessor, real-time clock (RTC), and wireless communication modules (such as Bluetooth / 4G / LoRa). This results in increased power consumption and reduced battery life for the gateway.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to research and develop a gateway for irrigation devices to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gateway for an irrigation device that can reduce power consumption and increase battery life.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a gateway for an irrigation device, the specific implementation of which is as follows:

[0007] A gateway for an irrigation device includes a housing with an interior cavity, and a signal transceiver is provided in the cavity for communicating with the irrigation device.

[0008] The transceiver has a built-in rechargeable battery and a control circuit board. The top of the housing is equipped with a solar panel, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board to charge the rechargeable battery.

[0009] The top of the housing is equipped with a rain sensor, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board to convert rainfall information into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control circuit board.

[0010] This utility model discloses a gateway for an irrigation device. Compared with the prior art, it improves the gateway's endurance to a certain extent by installing a solar panel on the top of the box and electrically connecting the solar panel to the control circuit board built into the transceiver inside the box cavity. This allows the solar energy to be converted into electrical energy to charge the rechargeable battery built into the transceiver. Furthermore, the gateway structure is simplified by only installing an antenna, a rain sensor, and a transceiver, reducing the number of components and energy consumption.

[0011] In some embodiments, an antenna is provided on the top of the housing, and the antenna is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0012] The transmitting and receiving range of the signal transceiver is expanded by installing an antenna on the top of the enclosure that is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0013] In some embodiments, the antenna is rotatably connected to the housing.

[0014] By configuring the antenna to rotate and connect with the enclosure, the antenna can be stored in the side of the enclosure when not in use, reducing the space occupied by the gateway and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0015] In some embodiments, the transceiver is a low-power 4G transceiver.

[0016] Energy consumption can be further reduced by setting the transceiver to a low-power 4G transceiver.

[0017] In some embodiments, the enclosure includes a body and a door, the cavity being formed within the body, and the door being hinged to the body.

[0018] By setting the enclosure as a main body and a door, and utilizing the cavity formed by opening and closing the main body through the door, it is convenient to perform maintenance, repair, and replacement operations on the signal transceiver inside the cavity.

[0019] In some embodiments, a sealing strip is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the door body, and a sealing protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the opening of the main body. When the door body and the main body cover and close the cavity, the sealing protrusion abuts against the sealing strip.

[0020] By setting a sealing strip on the inner peripheral wall of the door and a sealing flange on the outer peripheral wall at the opening of the door, the sealing flange and the sealing strip abut against each other to seal the cavity when the door and the main body are closed, thus achieving the technical effect of dustproof and waterproof.

[0021] In some embodiments, the top of the housing is provided with a connecting plate, and the rain sensor is provided at either end of the connecting plate.

[0022] The rain sensor is connected to the housing by connecting it to either end of the connecting plate, which allows for the removal and replacement of the rain sensor.

[0023] In some embodiments, the rain sensor is provided with a connection end, which is connected to the connection plate.

[0024] By setting a connection end on the rain sensor and connecting the connection end to the connection plate, the rain sensor and the housing can be connected, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0025] Based on the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0026] By installing a solar panel on the top of the enclosure, and electrically connecting the solar panel to the control circuit board built into the transceiver inside the enclosure, solar energy is converted into electrical energy to charge the rechargeable battery built into the transceiver. This significantly improves the gateway's battery life. Furthermore, the gateway structure is simplified by only installing an antenna, a rain sensor, and a transceiver, reducing the number of components and lowering energy consumption.

[0038] The top of the housing 100 is equipped with a rain sensor 500, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board to convert rainfall information into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control circuit board. The control circuit board then transmits status data to the irrigation device.

[0039] In some embodiments, an antenna 300 is provided on the top of the housing 100, and the antenna 300 is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0040] The transmission and reception range of the transceiver 200 is expanded by installing an antenna 300 electrically connected to the control circuit board on the top of the housing 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, the antenna 300 is rotatably connected to the housing 100.

[0042] By configuring the antenna 300 to be rotatably connected to the housing 100, the antenna 300 can be stored in the side of the housing 100 when not in use, reducing the space occupied by the gateway and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0043] In some embodiments, the transceiver 200 is a low-power 4G transceiver.

[0044] Energy consumption is further reduced by setting the transceiver 200 to a low-power 4G transceiver 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a body 120 and a door 130, the cavity 110 is formed within the body 120, and the door 130 is hinged to the body 120.

[0046] By setting the enclosure 100 as the main body 120 and the door 130, the cavity 110 formed by the main body 120 can be opened and closed by the door 130, which facilitates the maintenance, repair and replacement of the signal transceiver 200 inside the cavity 110.

[0047] In some embodiments, a sealing strip 131 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the door body 130, and a sealing flange 121 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the opening of the main body 120.

[0051] In some embodiments, the rain sensor 500 is provided with a connection end 510, which is connected to the connection plate 600.

[0052] By setting a connection end 510 on the rain sensor 500 and connecting the connection end 510 and the connection plate 600, the connection between the rain sensor 500 and the housing 100 is realized, improving the ease of disassembly and assembly.
