Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree planting technology, and in particular to an intelligent irrigation and water-saving control device for apple orchards. Background Technology

[0002] During the apple season, the period from flower bud swelling to two weeks after flowering is the period of vigorous cell division in the fruit. If the tree's water supply is insufficient, it will affect the size of the fruit. From early June to mid-July, the tree enters the physiological differentiation stage of flower buds. In order to control vegetative growth and promote flower bud formation, the water supply should be appropriately controlled during this stage. From early July to mid-September, the tree enters the rapid growth stage of the fruit, which is the second critical period for apple water requirements. Insufficient water directly affects the size of the fruit. Therefore, irrigation plays a very important role in the planting process of apple trees. Current technology mostly uses direct irrigation with water pipes when irrigating apple trees at different stages, which will waste water resources.

[0003] Apple trees thrive in deep, well-drained, and organic-rich sandy loam. The first watering should be generous to ensure the roots absorb water fully and it mixes well with the soil. During the growing season, water appropriately, watering only when the soil is dry. Watering apple trees should be moderate, adhering to the principle of "watering when the soil is dry to the touch." Adjust watering according to weather conditions; do not wait until the soil is cracked before watering. Maintain a semi-dry, semi-moist environment for the apple trees. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-6This utility model discloses an intelligent irrigation and water-saving control device for apple orchards, comprising: a platform 1, a water tank 3 fixedly mounted on one side of the platform 1, a power supply 4 mounted above the water tank 3, the power supply 4 electrically connected to a controller 5, a water pump 7 fixedly mounted on the other side of the upper surface of the water tank 3, a pipe connected to the inlet of the water pump 7 extending to the bottom of the water tank 3, a water pipe 8 fixedly connected to the outlet of the water pump 7, a water pipe 10 fixedly connected to the water pipe 8, a spray nozzle 9 fixedly connected above the water pipe 10, the spray nozzle 9 including an arc-shaped groove, and multiple circular nozzles fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the arc-shaped groove. Specifically, the water pump 7 draws water from the water tank 3 to the water pipe 8, the water in the water pipe 8 continues to flow into the water pipe 10 and then sprays out from the circular nozzles in the spray nozzle 9, a turntable 11 fixedly connected below the water pipe 10, a support frame 12 rotatably connected below the turntable 11, a motor 3 fixedly mounted on the upper side wall of the support frame 12, the output end of the motor 3 rotatably passing through the upper part of the support frame 12. The side wall is fixedly connected to the turntable 11. Specifically, the turntable 11 is driven to rotate by the output of the motor 3, thereby causing the water nozzle 9 to rotate and spray water, thus increasing the spray range of the water nozzle. The frame 1 is fixedly installed with the motor 14. The output of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to the gear 15. The gear 15 is rotatably connected to the tooth block 20. The side of the tooth block 20 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 21. The output of the electric telescopic rod 21 is fixedly connected to the arc frame 13. Specifically, the output of the motor 14 drives the gear 15 to mesh and rotate with the tooth block 20. Then, the electric telescopic rod 21 connected to the tooth block 20 causes the arc frame 13 to swing. During the process, the distance between the tooth block 20 and the arc frame 13 is changed by the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 21, so that the arc frame 13 can hook to the outside of the apple tree. In conjunction with the motor 3 driving the turntable 11 to rotate the water nozzle 9, the apple tree is watered. The arc frame 13 is slidably connected to the lower end of the support frame 12.

[0026] A first track 17 and a second track 18 are provided above the arc-shaped frame 13. A gear 16 and a rotating rod 19 are provided on the lower surface of the support frame 12. An external tooth is provided on one side of the first track 17. The gear 16 meshes with the external tooth of the first track 17. The rotating rod 19 is in a rolling connection with the second track 18. The second track 18 is concave, which locks the edge of the rotating rod 19. The upper end of the rotating rod 19 is stepped at both ends and narrows upwards. This can prevent the rotating rod 19 from sliding upwards out of the second track 18. A motor 22 is fixed to the lower side wall of the support frame 12. The upper part of the gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22. Specifically, the output end of the motor 22 drives the gear 16 to rotate and move within the first track 17 in cooperation with the external tooth on the side of the first track 17. The rotating rod 19 rolls and slides within the second track 18.

[0027] The platform 1 gradually narrows from the push frame 2 to the arc frame 13, and the bottom of the frame 1 includes three wheels.

[0028] The arc frame 13 is G-shaped and bends toward the electric telescopic pole 21.

[0029] The upper surface of the water tank 3 is provided with a water inlet 6.

[0030] Motor 1 (14), Motor 2 (22), Motor 3, and water pump 7 are all electrically connected to controller 5.

[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
