Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese herbal medicine planting technology, and in particular to a Chinese herbal medicine planting trough that is easy to irrigate. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for traditional Chinese medicinal materials, the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs has gradually become an important branch of agriculture. By cultivating high-quality medicinal materials, the needs of the Chinese medicine and health product markets are met. Among them, Buddha's Hand is a common Chinese medicinal herb and is also used as an ornamental plant.

[0003] Currently, Buddha's Hand can be grown directly in the ground or in planting troughs (also known as container cultivation). Planting troughs offer greater flexibility, allowing for easy relocation of the plant according to seasonal changes or space constraints, facilitating user management. When planting in troughs, the Buddha's Hand needs to be watered to ensure its normal growth.

[0004] However, within the planting trough, the water requirements of Buddha's Hand plants vary in different areas. This difference is mainly affected by the placement of the planting trough. For example, plants near light sources (such as windows or the top of greenhouses) usually receive more sunlight, resulting in greater evaporation and a greater need for water. Plants in areas with insufficient light sources require relatively less water. In addition, in areas with better air circulation, water evaporates faster, and the plants may need to be watered more frequently. In areas with poor air circulation, the plants do not need to be watered as frequently. However, current planting troughs cannot provide water to different areas according to the plant's needs, making it difficult to ensure a balanced water supply, which in turn affects the healthy growth of the plants. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that current planting troughs cannot provide water in zones according to the needs of plants, making it difficult to ensure a balanced water supply and thus affecting the healthy growth of plants. Therefore, this invention proposes a Chinese herbal medicine planting trough that is easy to irrigate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A medicinal herb planting trough for easy irrigation includes a trough body and a draining plate fixedly connected to the trough body.

[0008] To facilitate monitoring of irrigation water supply, a flow meter is further fixedly installed on the branch pipe of the zone.

[0009] In order to monitor soil moisture data in real time and provide feedback to the user, the feedback device preferably includes a controller fixedly connected to the trough, multiple soil moisture sensors are fixedly installed on the trough, and the detection end of the soil moisture sensor extends to the planting area of ​​the trough. Multiple audible and visual buzzers are fixedly connected to the trough, and the soil moisture sensor and the audible and visual buzzers are electrically connected to the controller.

[0010] To facilitate the drainage of water collected in the draining area, the inner bottom of the tank is preferably designed with an inclined surface at an angle of 15°-30°.

[0019] Example: Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides a medicinal herb planting trough for easy irrigation, including a trough body 1 and a draining plate 2 fixedly connected inside the trough body 1. The draining plate 2 is used to divide the inner cavity of the trough body 1 to form a planting area and a draining area. The draining area is used to collect excess water after watering the plants. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the trough body 1, and a valve is fixedly installed on the drain pipe. The inner bottom of the trough body 1 is designed with an inclined surface, and the inclination angle is 15°-30°, preferably 20°. By opening the valve, the water collected in the draining area can flow along the inclined surface to the drain pipe. Multiple partitions are fixedly connected inside the trough body 1. A plate 3, and multiple partitions 3 are equidistantly distributed in the planting area to divide it. The number of partitions 3 is 2 to 8, and 2 is preferred as an example, so that the planting area is divided into 3 independent planting zones. Multiple sets of atomizing nozzles 4 are set on the tank body 1. The number of atomizing nozzles 4 is 3 to 9, and 3 is preferred as it is set at the 3 planting zones respectively. A support shell 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the tank body 1. The atomizing nozzles 4 are connected to the support shell 5 through a water supply component. The output end of the atomizing nozzles 4 faces the planting area. The tank body 1 is equipped with a feedback component for monitoring soil moisture.

[0020] Specifically, during use, the drainage plate 2 and the partition 3 can divide the tank 1 into a drainage area and several planting areas. Multiple sets of atomizing nozzles 4 can provide independent water supply points in each planting area, thus allowing water to be supplied according to the needs of the plants in each area, ensuring a balanced water supply and promoting healthy plant growth. Furthermore, the feedback device can independently monitor the soil moisture in each planting area, automatically reminding the user to water the plants in the planting area accordingly, making the management of the plants more convenient.

[0021] The water supply component includes a main pipe 41 fixedly connected inside the support shell 5. The inlet end of the main pipe 41 extends outside the support shell 5. Multiple partition branch pipes 42 are fixedly connected to the support shell 5. The number of partition branch pipes 42 is 3 to 9, preferably 3, to cooperate with 3 sets of atomizing nozzles 4. The inlet end of the partition branch pipe 42 extends into the support shell 5 and is fixedly connected to the main pipe 41. A regulating valve 43 is fixedly installed on the partition branch pipe 42. The atomizing nozzle 4 is fixedly connected to the partition branch pipe 42. A flow meter 44 is fixedly installed on the partition branch pipe 42. The flow meter 44 can be an Endress+Hauser Promag300 or Promag500.

[0022] Specifically, in use, by connecting the main pipe 41 to the water supply pipe in the greenhouse (which can be a tap water pipe or other water supply pipeline), and by opening the regulating valve 43, water can flow through the main pipe 41 and the branch pipe 42 into the atomizing nozzle 4 of the designated planting area, and water mist can be sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 4, which can then be evenly sprayed on the surface of the plants and the surrounding soil in the planting area. Furthermore, by setting the flow meter 44, the amount of water flowing through can be monitored so that the user can control the water supply.

[0023] The feedback components include a controller 7 fixedly connected to the tank 1. The controller 7 can be a Siemens SMART1000IT or Schneider Electric Modicon-M340, or a Mitsubishi FX series. Multiple soil moisture sensors 6 are fixedly installed on the tank 1, and the detection end of the soil moisture sensors 6 extends to the planting area of ​​the tank 1. The soil moisture sensors 6 can be Decagon EC-5 or Lanbao LB-SM-1. Multiple audible and visual buzzers 8 are fixedly connected to the tank 1. The number of audible and visual buzzers 8 and soil moisture sensors 6 is 3 to 9, preferably 3, for use with 3 planting zones. The audible and visual buzzers 8 can be Mallory Sonalert-SC628 or Werma-Signalgeber814.101. Both the soil moisture sensors 6 and the audible and visual buzzers 8 are electrically connected to the controller 7.

[0024] Specifically, during use, by setting multiple soil moisture sensors 6, the soil moisture in each divided planting zone can be monitored and the collected data can be fed back to the controller 7. If an abnormality is detected in one of the planting zones, such as the moisture being lower than the system set value, an alarm mechanism is triggered, causing the corresponding sound and light buzzer 8 of the planting zone to sound an alarm. This makes it easier for users to remind the plants in that zone to be watered, making the management of the plants more convenient.

[0025] Specifically, this design allows water in the draining area to be directed to the drain outlet, thus facilitating the discharge of water collected in the draining area.

[0026] One side of the tank body 1 has an opening that connects to the drainage area, and a sealing plate for sealing the opening is detachably connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1 by screws.

[0027] Specifically, the openings and sealing plates facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the drainage area.

[0028] Working principle: During use, this easy-to-irrigate Chinese herbal medicine planting trough can monitor the soil moisture in each divided planting zone through the setting of multiple soil moisture sensors 6, and feed the collected data back to the controller 7. If an abnormality is detected in one of the planting zones, such as the moisture being lower than the system set value, the alarm mechanism is triggered, and the corresponding sound and light buzzer 8 of the planting zone will sound an alarm, which can easily remind the user to irrigate the plants in that zone, making the management of the plants more convenient for the user. When watering the planting zone that has been alerted, the independent water supply regulating valve 43 corresponding to that zone can be opened, allowing water to flow through the main pipe 41 and the zone branch pipe 42 into the atomizing nozzle 4 in that planting zone. By observing the flow meter 44, the atomizing nozzle 4 can spray water mist in a measured amount, which can then be evenly sprayed onto the surface of the plants and the surrounding soil in that planting zone. In addition, the drainage plate 2 can drain excess water in time, preventing excessive water accumulation at the bottom from causing root hypoxia and root rot. The drained water will be collected in the drainage area for subsequent discharge and reuse.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
