Detailed Implementation

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a large-scale, long-range, low-cost fully automatic integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation system for forestry, including a mixing tank 1, an inlet water pump 2, an outlet water pump 3, a main pipe 4, a secondary pipe 5, a maintenance hose 6, and a drip irrigation connector 7. The main pipe 4, secondary pipe 5, maintenance hose 6, and drip irrigation connector 7 are made of biodegradable PVC material, significantly reducing costs. The mixing tank 1 holds the maintenance water and has an internal mixing shaft 1.1 along its axis. Mixing blades 1.2 are mounted on the mixing shaft 1.1. A motor 1.3 is installed at the top of the mixing tank 1 and is connected to the mixing shaft 1.1. Furthermore, the top of the mixing tank 1 has a fertilizer inlet 1.4, through which fertilizer can be added to the mixing tank 1. The mixing blades 1.2 then crush and mix the fertilizer, which is then mixed with the water for drip irrigation. The integrated water and fertilizer system integrates the fertilizer crushing tank, mixing tank 1, and fusion tank into one unit, reducing the number of tanks.

[0034] The inlet pump 2 and the outlet pump 3 are remote-controlled automatic pumps. The pumps can be turned on and off remotely. One end of the inlet pump 2 is connected to the upper part of the mixing tank 1 through a water pipe, and the other end is connected to the water source through a water pipe. It is used to pump water into the mixing tank 1. One end of the outlet pump 3 is connected to the lower part of the mixing tank 1 through a water pipe, and the other end is connected to the main pipeline 4. It is used to output the water source in the mixing tank 1.

[0035] The main pipe 4 connects the secondary pipe 5 to the water pump 3 at the outlet. The secondary pipe 5 is set along the width of the garden. A trench is set at the position corresponding to the main pipe 4 and the secondary pipe 5. The trench is sloped at 3% along the direction of water flow. The main pipe 4 and the secondary pipe 5 are buried in the trench to make the use of the water flow by its own weight as much as possible.

[0036] Multiple maintenance hoses 6 are installed, and all of them are connected to the secondary pipe 5. Each maintenance hose 6 is laid along the root of each row of seedlings 8. A drip irrigation connector 7 is installed on the maintenance hose 6. The drip irrigation connector 7 is used to drip irrigate the root of the seedlings 8 to achieve low-pressure integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation.

[0037] This application's integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation system is suitable for large-scale, continuous deployment beyond visual range. It can achieve integrated water and fertilizer management for seedlings 8 and can be used without human supervision. In addition, it makes full use of gravity to drive water flow. All tanks and pipes are made of PVC material, which greatly reduces costs. The integrated water and fertilizer crushing tank, mixing tank 1, and fusion tank are integrated into one unit, reducing the number of tanks. The water pump is a remote-controlled automatic pump, which does not require manual operation.

[0038] The maintenance hose 6 has an installation hole. One end of the drip irrigation connector 7 is inserted into the installation hole. The drip irrigation connector 7 includes an installation tube 7.1 and a drip irrigation head 7.2 located at one end of the installation tube 7.1. The installation tube 7.1 is connected to the drip irrigation head 7.2, and the drip irrigation head 7.2 has a drip irrigation hole. The insertion end of the installation tube 7.1 has barbs 7.3 arranged continuously along its circumference towards the drip irrigation head 7.2. Two barbs 7.3 are spaced apart at the insertion end of the installation tube 7.1, with one barb being located near the end of the installation tube 7.1. The outer diameter of the barb 7.3 is larger than the diameter of the installation hole. The inner barb 7.3 is inserted into the maintenance hose 6 and abuts against the inner wall of the hose. The barb 7.3 has an elastic rubber layer 9 located between the barb 7.3 and the inner wall of the hose. After the barb 7.3 is inserted into the hose, the elastic rubber layer 9 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the hose, achieving a seal of the installation tube 7.1 through elastic contact to prevent water leakage at the connection.

[0039] A water outlet is provided at the connection between the secondary pipe 5 and the maintenance hose 6. The water outlet is connected to the maintenance hose 6 through a water pipe connector 10. One end of the water pipe connector 10 is threaded to the water outlet, and the other end has barbs 7.3 continuously arranged along its circumference towards the water outlet. Two barbs 7.3 are spaced apart. An elastic rubber layer 9 is provided on the water pipe connector 10 between the two barbs 7.3. The end of the water pipe connector 10 with barbs 7.3 is inserted into the maintenance hose 6 and tightened by a clamp. The clamp is installed between the two barbs 7.3. The clamp is an existing pipe clamp, which will not be described in detail in this application. By setting an elastic rubber layer 9 between the barbs 7.3, the barbs 7.3 cooperate with the hose, and the elastic rubber layer 9 cooperates with the clamp to achieve a double seal, thus solving the problem of hose connection leakage.

[0040] The workflow is as follows:

[0041] The remote-controlled automatic water pump can be turned on remotely, greatly improving the efficiency of large-scale, long-range forest maintenance. Water is pumped from the PVC main pipe 4 to the mixing tank 1. In the mixing tank 1, the water and water-soluble fertilizer are mixed and blended. Then, the water and fertilizer are pumped from the main pipe 4 to the edge of the forest and directed to the PVC secondary pipe 5. This pipe then distributes the water and fertilizer to each row of PVC drip irrigation hoses. Subsequently, the water and fertilizer drip from the PVC drip irrigation connectors 7 installed on the PVC drip irrigation hoses, realizing the drip irrigation maintenance of seedlings 8.
