Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry irrigation technology, and in particular to a forestry water-saving irrigation device. Background Technology
[0002] As a key area of ecological construction, forestry's sustainable development relies heavily on scientific and efficient irrigation technologies. In recent years, with increasing water scarcity and the growing demand for refined management in the forestry industry, forestry irrigation technologies have made significant progress, not only greatly improving irrigation efficiency but also demonstrating important value in resource conservation and ecological protection. Currently, mainstream forestry irrigation technologies mainly focus on three types: mobile sprinkler irrigation, rotary irrigation, and underground root irrigation. Each type plays a crucial role in different forestry scenarios due to its unique advantages.
[0003] Mobile sprinkler irrigation technology, with its high flexibility, has become a versatile tool in forestry irrigation. It can flexibly adjust the irrigation location and range according to the distribution, growth stage, and soil moisture conditions of trees in different areas. Whether it's a large area of fast-growing forest or scattered landscape trees, mobile sprinkler irrigation equipment can be deployed quickly to achieve precise irrigation. Equipped with advanced sprinklers and control systems, it can accurately control the water volume and spray uniformity according to the water requirements of trees, effectively avoiding water waste and improving irrigation quality.
[0004] Rotary irrigation technology provides trees with comprehensive, all-around irrigation services through its unique method. This technology uses rotating sprinklers arranged around the trees to evenly spray water in a circular trajectory, ensuring that the roots of each tree can fully absorb water. Its advantage lies in simulating the uniformity of natural rainfall, resulting in a more even distribution of soil moisture and promoting balanced root growth. Furthermore, the rotation radius and spray intensity of the sprinklers can be flexibly adjusted according to the tree's height and canopy size to meet the irrigation needs of different tree species at different growth stages.
[0005] Underground root irrigation, an innovative irrigation method, involves burying irrigation pipes directly near the tree roots, delivering water slowly and precisely to the area around the root system through micropores or drippers. This method directly targets the tree's "water source," significantly reducing water loss through evaporation and seepage during transport, thus greatly improving water resource utilization. Furthermore, underground root irrigation keeps the soil surface dry, slows weed growth, reduces the likelihood of pests and diseases, and creates a favorable soil environment for tree growth. Simultaneously, because the irrigation process takes place underground, it does not affect the surface landscape or daily operations, making it particularly suitable for urban greening, parks, and other locations with high aesthetic requirements.
[0006] Although mobile sprinkler irrigation technology plays an important role in forestry irrigation, traditional mobile irrigation equipment has revealed some problems that urgently need to be addressed in long-term use. Traditional mobile irrigation equipment typically uses a cart to pull a water tank. During irrigation, a water pump draws water from the tank and sprays it onto the trees through nozzles. While this design meets basic functional requirements during irrigation, it has significant shortcomings in terms of equipment operation and water resource utilization. The most prominent problem is that water in the nozzles flows out naturally when the pump is turned off. This seemingly minor phenomenon actually causes serious water waste. After each irrigation operation, when the operator turns off the pump, the residual water in the nozzles flows out uncontrollably under gravity, not only wetting the surrounding ground but also preventing the trees from effectively absorbing and utilizing this water. Especially in large-scale forestry irrigation, frequent start-stop operations lead to a large amount of unnecessary water loss, exacerbating water scarcity. At the same time, this water waste also increases irrigation costs and reduces the economic benefits of forestry production. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing mobile irrigation equipment, which typically uses a cart to pull a water tank. During irrigation, a water pump draws water from the tank and sprays it onto trees through nozzles. While this design meets basic functional requirements, it has significant shortcomings in terms of equipment operation and water resource utilization. The most prominent problem is that water naturally flows out of the nozzles when the pump is turned off. This seemingly minor phenomenon actually causes serious water waste. After each irrigation session, when the operator turns off the pump, the remaining water in the nozzles flows out uncontrollably under gravity, not only wetting the surrounding ground but also preventing the trees from effectively absorbing and utilizing the water. Especially in large-scale forestry irrigation, frequent start-stop operations lead to a large amount of unnecessary water loss, exacerbating water scarcity. This water waste also increases irrigation costs and reduces the economic benefits of forestry production. Therefore, this invention proposes a water-saving irrigation device for forestry.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] A forestry water-saving irrigation device includes a vehicle body and a water tank. The bottom of the water tank is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly mounted on and connected to the top of the water tank. A screw cap is threaded onto the water inlet pipe. A water pump and a mounting frame are fixedly mounted on the bottom inner wall of the vehicle body. A V-shaped plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame. A water pump inlet is fixedly mounted with a water suction pipe, one end of which is fixedly connected to and connected to the bottom side of the water tank. A water pump outlet is fixedly mounted with a delivery pipe, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame, and one end of which is fixedly mounted with a flexible hose. A nozzle is fixedly mounted on one end of the flexible hose. A collector is provided on one side of the V-shaped plate to collect water dripping from the nozzle, thus saving water.
[0010] In one possible design, the collector includes a collection box and a recycling pipe. One side of the collection box is fixedly connected to one side of a V-shaped plate. The inner wall of the collection box is conical. One end of the recycling pipe is fixedly connected to and communicates with the bottom of the collection box, and the other end of the recycling pipe is fixedly connected to and communicates with the top side of a water tank. A barrier for guiding water from the V-shaped plate to the collection box is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped plate. An interception basket for intercepting fallen leaves is mounted on the collection box, and the interception basket has drainage holes.
[0011] In one possible design, a bearing for horizontal rotation of the nozzle is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped plate, a rotating rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner ring of the bearing, a transparent cover is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped plate, a circular hole is opened on the cover, the rotating rod is located in the circular hole, and the bearing is located in the cover.
[0012] In one possible design, a U-shaped frame is fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating rod, and the same rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the frame. A fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod, and one side of the nozzle is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring.
[0013] In one possible design, a threaded hole II is provided on one side of the cover, and a wing screw II for fixing the rotating rod is threaded into the threaded hole II. The rotating rod has insertion holes II arranged in a ring array on its surface, and one end of the wing screw II is inserted into the insertion hole II.
[0014] In one possible design, a threaded hole I is provided on one side of the frame, and a wing screw I for fixing the rotating rod is threaded into the threaded hole I. One end of the fixing ring is provided with insertion holes I arranged in a ring array, and one end of the wing screw I is inserted into the insertion hole I.
[0015] In this application, when using the water tank, open the screw cap on the top water inlet pipe, add clean water to the water tank through the water inlet pipe, and after adding an appropriate amount of water, tighten the screw cap again. The vehicle body is an existing electric tricycle, and the working principle will not be described in detail here. The operator sits on the electric tricycle, starts the electric tricycle, and drives it to the forestry area that needs irrigation. After arriving near the location, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal spray direction of the nozzle, the wing screw II in the threaded hole II on one side of the cover can be loosened first, so that one end of it leaves the insertion hole II on the surface of the rotating rod. Then, manually rotate the frame. The rotating rod rotates horizontally on the V-plate via bearings, thereby driving the frame and sprinkler head to rotate horizontally. Once the sprinkler head is rotated to the appropriate horizontal position, retighten the wing screw II so that one end is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole II to fix the rotating rod and prevent the sprinkler head from rotating on its own during irrigation. To adjust the vertical spray angle of the sprinkler head, loosen the wing screw I in the threaded hole I on one side of the frame so that one end is pulled out of the insertion hole I at one end of the fixing ring. At this time, manually rotate the fixing ring, which drives the sprinkler head to rotate around the rotating rod, thus adjusting the vertical angle. Once the sprinkler head is adjusted to the appropriate vertical angle, retighten the wing screw I so that one end is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole I to fix the fixing ring and sprinkler head, ensuring a stable irrigation angle. After completing the angle and direction adjustment of the sprinkler head, start the water pump. The water pump draws water from the bottom of one side of the water tank through the pump pipe, then delivers the water to the hose through the delivery pipe, and finally the water is sprayed from the sprinkler head to irrigate the surrounding trees. During the irrigation process... Operators can rationally control the water pump's operating time and irrigation volume based on factors such as tree species, growth stage, and soil moisture to ensure the trees receive adequate water nourishment. After the water pump is turned off, some water will remain in the nozzles and drip naturally. At this time, the V-shaped plate comes into play; its top baffle guides the water dripping onto the V-shaped plate to the collection box. The inner wall of the collection box is conical, which facilitates the concentrated collection of water. The water in the collection box flows back to the water tank through the recovery pipe, achieving water recycling and water conservation. At the same time, the interception basket intercepts fallen leaves that drip with the water, preventing them from entering the recovery pipe and causing blockages. It should be noted that the water pump requires an external power supply and an external controller for operation. The power supply can be provided by a battery installed in the vehicle. The V-shaped plate is larger than the length of the nozzle. Regardless of whether the nozzle is rotated to the sides or rear of the V-shaped plate, it is always positioned above the V-shaped plate. When the nozzle is rotated to the front of the V-shaped plate, it is positioned above the collection box. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the hose has a certain length to facilitate the rotation of the nozzle. The V-shaped plate, collection box, interception basket and other components can be made of stainless steel, which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] A collector is installed on one side of the V-shaped plate. After the water pump is turned off, the water dripping from the nozzles first falls onto the V-shaped plate. The baffle at the top of the V-shaped plate guides the water to the collection box. The inner wall of the collection box is conical to facilitate the collection of water. The collected water then flows back to the water tank through the recycling pipe, realizing the recycling of water resources and greatly reducing the unnecessary loss of water resources. Especially in large-scale forestry irrigation, when frequent start-stop operations are performed, it can significantly reduce water waste and alleviate the water shortage situation.
[0018] A bearing for horizontal rotation of the sprinkler head is installed at the top of the V-shaped plate. A rotating rod is fixed to the inner wall of the bearing's inner ring, and a frame is installed at the top of the rotating rod, with the sprinkler head fixed to the frame. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal spray direction of the sprinkler head, simply loosen the wing screw II in the threaded hole II on one side of the cover, so that one end of it leaves the insertion hole II on the surface of the rotating rod. Then, manually rotate the frame to drive the rotating rod to rotate horizontally on the V-shaped plate through the bearing, thereby adjusting the horizontal direction of the sprinkler head. After adjusting to the appropriate direction, tighten the wing screw II to fix the rotating rod. The operation is simple and convenient, and can meet the irrigation needs of trees in different locations.
[0019] Rotating rods are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame, with fixed rings fitted onto the rotating rods. One side of the sprinkler head is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed ring. When it is necessary to adjust the vertical spray angle of the sprinkler head, loosen the wing screw I in the threaded hole I on one side of the frame, so that one end of it is pulled out from the insertion hole I at one end of the fixed ring. Manually rotate the fixed ring to drive the sprinkler head to rotate around the rotating rod, thereby adjusting the vertical angle. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, tighten the wing screw I to fix the fixed ring and the sprinkler head, ensuring a stable irrigation angle. The irrigation angle can be precisely controlled according to the actual situation of the trees, improving the irrigation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In one embodiment: Refer to Figure 1-4 A water-saving irrigation device comprises a vehicle body 1, a water tank 2, a water pump, a mounting frame 3, a V-shaped plate 12, sprinklers 5, and a collector. The vehicle body 1 is an existing electric tricycle, which is highly mobile and convenient for operators to drive to different forestry irrigation areas. The water tank 2 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body 1 to store the water required for irrigation. The water pump is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the vehicle body 1, drawing water from the bottom of the water tank 2 through a pumping pipe 10, and then delivering it to the sprinklers 5 via a delivery pipe 9 and a flexible hose 7 for spraying irrigation. The V-shaped plate 12 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, and has components for adjusting the angle and direction of the sprinklers 5. A collector is also located on one side of the V-shaped plate 12 to collect water dripping from the sprinklers 5, thus achieving water conservation.
[0027] The bottom of water tank 2 is securely fixed to the electric tricycle body 1, ensuring that water tank 2 will not shake or shift during equipment movement and irrigation. A water inlet pipe is located on the top of water tank 2, connecting to the interior of water tank 2. A screw cap is threaded onto the water inlet pipe. During use, the operator simply opens the screw cap to add clean water to water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe. After adding an appropriate amount of water, the screw cap is tightened again to prevent water from spilling out during movement.
[0028] A water pump and a mounting bracket 3 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the vehicle body 1. A water pump inlet is fixedly connected to a water suction pipe 10, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the water tank 2. This design allows the water pump to draw water from the bottom of the water tank 2, ensuring that the water in the tank 2 is fully utilized. A delivery pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the water pump outlet, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 3, providing support and fixation to prevent the delivery pipe 9 from shaking during water delivery. A flexible hose 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the delivery pipe 9, allowing the sprinkler head 5 to irrigate from different angles and positions. A sprinkler head 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the hose 7. After being drawn by the water pump, delivered by the delivery pipe 9, and transmitted through the hose 7, the water is finally sprayed out from the sprinkler head 5 to irrigate the surrounding trees.
[0029] A V-shaped plate 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 3, and a collector is provided on one side of the V-shaped plate 12. The collector includes a collection box 4 and a recovery pipe 11. One side of the collection box 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the V-shaped plate 12 to ensure the stability of the collection box. The inner wall of the collection box 4 is conical, which facilitates the concentrated collection of water and prevents water from remaining in the collection box 4. One end of the recovery pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 4 and communicates with it. The other end of the recovery pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the top side of the water tank 2 and communicates with it, so that the water collected in the collection box 4 can flow back to the water tank 2 through the recovery pipe 11 to realize the recycling of water resources. A baffle 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped plate 12. The baffle 16 can guide the water on the V-shaped plate 12 to the collection box 4 to prevent water from flowing around. The collection box 4 is equipped with an interception basket 15, which has a drain hole. The interception basket 15 can intercept fallen leaves that fall with water droplets, preventing the leaves from entering the recycling pipe 11 and causing blockage. The drain hole ensures that water can pass smoothly into the collection box 4.
[0030] This application is for the field of forestry irrigation, but can also be used in other fields applicable to this application.
[0031] In another embodiment: Reference Figure 1-4 A type of water-saving irrigation equipment for forestry, which is used in the field of forestry irrigation.
[0032] A bearing 17 for horizontal rotation of the nozzle 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped plate 12. A rotating rod 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner ring of the bearing 17. A transparent cover 8 is also fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped plate 12. The cover 8 has a circular hole, and the rotating rod 19 is located in the circular hole. The bearing 17 is located inside the cover 8. The cover 8 is made of a transparent material, such as transparent acrylic, to facilitate the operator's observation of the internal structure and to protect the bearing 17 and other components from external environmental factors. A threaded hole II is opened on one side of the cover 8. A wing screw II 18 for fixing the rotating rod 19 is threaded into the threaded hole II. The rotating rod 19 has insertion holes II arranged in a ring array on its surface. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal spray direction of the nozzle 5, the operator first loosens the wing screw II 18 so that one end of it leaves the insertion hole II on the surface of the rotating rod 19. Then, the operator manually rotates the frame 6. The rotating rod 19 rotates horizontally on the V-shaped plate 12 through the bearing 17, thereby driving the frame 6 and the nozzle 5 to rotate horizontally. After the nozzle 5 is rotated to the appropriate horizontal position, tighten the wing screw II 18 so that one end is inserted into the corresponding socket II to fix the rotating rod 19 and prevent the nozzle 5 from rotating on its own during irrigation.
[0033] A U-shaped frame 6 is fixedly mounted at the top of the rotating rod 19. The same rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 6 via bearings. A fixing ring 13 is fixedly fitted onto the rotating rod, and one side of the nozzle 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring 13. A threaded hole I is provided on one side of the frame 6, and a wing screw I 14 for fixing the rotating rod is threaded into the threaded hole I. One end of the fixing ring 13 has insertion holes I arranged in a circular array. When it is necessary to adjust the vertical spray angle of the nozzle 5, the operator loosens the wing screw I 14 in the threaded hole I on one side of the frame 6, pulling one end out of the insertion hole I at one end of the fixing ring 13. At this time, the fixing ring 13 can be manually rotated, causing the nozzle 5 to rotate around the rotating rod, thus adjusting the vertical angle. After the nozzle 5 is adjusted to the appropriate vertical angle, the wing screw I 14 is retightened, inserting one end into the corresponding insertion hole I to fix the fixing ring 13 and the nozzle 5, ensuring a stable irrigation angle.
[0034] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of water pumps are conventional methods or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0035] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.
