Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation device technology, specifically to an irrigation device for urban green walls. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, urban green walls, as an important means of improving the ecological environment and beautifying urban spaces, are increasingly widely used. Urban green walls are mostly installed on building exteriors, road medians, and around public facilities. Due to their unique three-dimensional structure, they place high demands on the stability, adaptability, and water-saving performance of irrigation systems. Currently, irrigation methods for urban green walls mainly include manual watering and fixed drip irrigation devices.
[0003] Manual watering relies on manual operation, which not only consumes a lot of labor costs, but also results in poor irrigation uniformity, easily leading to some areas being over-watered while others are under-watered. Especially in tall green walls or densely populated areas, manual operation poses significant inconvenience and safety hazards. Therefore, an irrigation device for urban green walls is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an irrigation device for urban green walls, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an irrigation device for urban green walls, comprising:
[0006] The first side shell and the second side shell are connected by a connecting pipe at the lower rear end of the first side shell and the second side shell. The side shell wrapping structure is adapted to the installation of public facilities such as urban street lights or utility poles. The connecting pipe ensures that the water level in the two side shells is consistent by means of the communicating vessel principle, so as to achieve stable water storage and balanced water supply.
[0007] The mesh plate, installed inside the upper part of the first and second side shells, can intercept impurities such as leaves from entering the water storage space, preventing debris from clogging the pipes or affecting the operation of the water pump, and improving the durability of the device.
[0008] The side frame is fixed to the outer sides of the first and second side shells. A sliding shell is slidably installed on the outside of the side frame, and a side frame is provided on the outside of the sliding shell. A telescopic rod is installed on the outside of the side frame, and a shower head is installed on the outside of the telescopic rod. The position and height of the shower head can be adjusted by sliding the sliding shell along the side frame and extending and retracting the telescopic rod, which can flexibly adapt to the irrigation needs of different areas of the green wall and expand the irrigation coverage.
[0009] The water pump is located at the lower end of the interior of the second side shell. A window is embedded in the front of the second side shell. The water pump provides stable power to deliver the stored water to the shower head. The window makes it easy to observe the water level and replenish the water source in time to ensure continuous irrigation.
[0010] The pipe, located at the front end of the first side shell, can connect to an external water source or collect rainwater, enabling multiple ways to replenish water and improve water resource utilization.
[0011] Preferably, solar panels are installed on the front and rear sides of the upper outer end of the first and second side shells, and the solar panels are connected to the first and second side shells through a frame. The solar panels are used to convert light energy into electrical energy.
[0012] Preferably, a bottom shell is installed on the outer side of both the first and second side shells, and the bottom shell is connected to the first and second side shells. A storage battery and an inverter are installed inside the bottom shell. The storage battery is used to store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel, and the inverter is used to convert the electrical energy from direct current to alternating current for use.
[0013] Preferably, the sliding shell has an inner cavity, and a limit rod is installed inside the inner cavity.
[0014] Preferably, a return spring is installed on the outside of the limiting rod inside the inner cavity, and a pull plate is installed on one end of the limiting rod, and the pull plate is fixedly connected to the limiting rod to facilitate the pulling of the limiting rod.
[0015] Preferably, the side frame has equidistantly distributed limiting holes inside, and the limiting rod is adapted to the limiting holes. The limiting rod and the limiting holes are combined to limit and fix the sliding shell.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an irrigation device for urban green walls, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This utility model, through its structural design of enclosing streetlights or utility poles with first and second side shells, achieves seamless installation with urban public facilities without the need for additional support structures. This offers advantages such as convenient installation and high stability, solving the problem of difficult installation of existing devices in special locations for green walls. The connecting pipe utilizes the principle of communicating vessels to maintain consistent water levels within both shells, achieving balanced water storage and ensuring stable water supply, thus solving the problem of uneven water distribution during irrigation. The mesh plate intercepts leaves and other debris, filtering the water source and reducing the risk of pipe blockage, thus solving the problem of equipment malfunction caused by impurities. The sliding shell and telescopic rod work together to adjust the position of the sprinkler, allowing for flexible adjustment of the irrigation range and comprehensive coverage, solving the problem of insufficient coverage at fixed irrigation locations. The combination of the water pump and connecting pipe enables dual water supply through rainwater collection and external water replenishment, offering water-saving and high-efficiency benefits and solving the problem of resource waste due to reliance on a single water source.

[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] This utility model provides a technical solution: an irrigation device for urban green walls. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,include:
[0024] A first side shell 1 and a second side shell 2 are connected by a connecting pipe 3 at the rear of the lower end between the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2.
[0025] Mesh plate 4 is installed inside the upper end of the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2;
[0026] Side frame 9 is fixed to the outer sides of the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2. A sliding shell 11 is slidably installed on the outside of the side frame 9, and a side frame 12 is provided on the outside of the sliding shell 11. A telescopic rod 13 is installed on the outside of the side frame 12, and a shower head 14 is installed on the outside of the telescopic rod 13.
[0027] Water pump 19 is located at the lower end of the interior of the second side shell 2, and a through window 7 is embedded in the front of the second side shell 2;
[0028] The connector 8 is located at the front end of the first side shell 1.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 Solar panels 5 are installed on the front and rear sides of the upper outer end of the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2, and the solar panels 5 are connected to the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2 through a frame. The solar panels 5 are used to convert light energy into electrical energy.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A bottom shell 6 is installed on the outer side of both the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2, and the bottom shell 6 is connected to the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2. A storage battery and an inverter are installed inside the bottom shell 6. The storage battery is used to store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel 5, and the inverter is used to convert the electrical energy from direct current to alternating current for use.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding shell 11 has an inner cavity 15, and a limit rod 16 is installed inside the inner cavity 15.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A return spring 17 is installed on the outside of the limiting rod 16 inside the inner cavity 15. A pull plate 18 is installed on one end of the limiting rod 16 and is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 16. The pull plate 18 facilitates the pulling of the limiting rod 16.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The side frame 9 has equidistantly distributed limiting holes 10 inside, and the limiting rod 16 is adapted to the limiting holes 10. The limiting rod 16 and the limiting holes 10 are combined to limit and fix the sliding shell 11.
[0034] This solution involves wrapping the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2 around the streetlights or utility poles in urban green areas. Rainwater flows into the collection area through the top of the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2, or water is injected into the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2 through the pipe 8. The connecting pipe 3, in conjunction with the principle of communicating vessels, ensures that the water level in the first side shell 1 and the second side shell 2 remains at the same height. The mesh plate 4 is used to intercept debris such as leaves. The system is connected to a controller (e.g., a microcontroller) to set the irrigation time. When the irrigation time is reached, the water pump 19 starts and pumps water through the pipe to the sprinkler 14 to spray it out, thereby completing the irrigation work.
[0035] When the height of the shower head 14 needs to be adjusted, pull the pull plate 18 to pull the limit rod 16 out of the limit hole 10, adjust the height of the sliding shell 11, and then release the pull plate 18. The return spring 17 pushes the limit rod 16 to insert it into the limit hole 10 to fix the sliding shell 11. In this way, the height of the shower head 14 can be adjusted.
