Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural irrigation technology, and more specifically, to a quick fixing device for drip irrigation tape in jackfruit orchards. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, drip irrigation technology is widely used in jackfruit plantations due to its water-saving and high-efficiency characteristics. However, traditional methods of fixing drip irrigation tape have many shortcomings. A common practice is to use simple tools such as wire, bamboo skewers, and plastic nails to fix the drip irrigation tape to the soil surface or shallow layer. This method has the following significant problems: First, the fixing effect is poor, easily affected by wind, rain, field operations, or animal activity, causing the drip irrigation tape to shift, twist, or even fall out of its intended position, seriously affecting the uniformity and effectiveness of irrigation; second, the installation efficiency is low, requiring manual insertion of fixing parts point by point, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in large orchards; third, traditional fixing parts such as wire and bamboo skewers are prone to rust, aging, or breakage, resulting in a short service life and frequent replacement, increasing maintenance costs and labor input; finally, sharp fixing parts such as wire ends and broken bamboo skewers pose safety hazards, potentially injuring operators or harvesters, and are difficult to clean after leaving residue in the soil, potentially affecting soil cultivation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a jackfruit orchard drip irrigation tape fixing device that can be quickly installed, firmly fixed, durable, and safe and reliable. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a quick-fixing device (100) for drip irrigation tape in jackfruit orchards, used for installing and fixing drip irrigation tape. The quick-fixing device (100) includes an arc-shaped base (10) and a pressure cap (20). One end of the base (10) and the pressure cap (20) is hinged by a pivot, and the other end is releasably connected by a locking mechanism (30), with the arc openings facing each other, the arc openings being used to accommodate the drip irrigation tape. The inner arc surface of the pressure cap (20) bends downward to form an elastic pressure band (21). In its natural state, the elastic pressure band (21) forms an angle with the inner arc surface of the base (10), used to accommodate and clamp the drip irrigation tape; when the locking mechanism (30) is closed, the elastic pressure band (21) is squeezed and deformed and tightly pressed against the surface of the drip irrigation tape to achieve clamping and fixing. The bottom of the base (10) is provided with a pin (11) for inserting into the soil to fix the entire device.

[0019] The quick-fixing device (100) of this application realizes the quick installation and removal of drip irrigation tape through the hinged pressure cap (20) and the locking mechanism (30). The elastic pressure band (21) can adapt to different pipe diameters and provide continuous clamping force, effectively preventing detachment and displacement. The whole is made of weather-resistant engineering plastic and rubber materials, with a solid structure and corrosion resistance, which significantly improves installation efficiency and service life, while eliminating safety hazards caused by sharp parts.

[0020] Specifically, one end of the base (10) is provided with a shaft hole for the rotating shaft to pass through, and the other end of the base (10) extends outward and bends downward to form a retaining part (31), and a retaining groove (311) is provided on the lower side of the retaining part (31).

[0021] One end of the cap (20) is provided with a through hole that matches the rotating shaft, and the other end of the cap (20) is provided with a buckle part (32) that matches the slot (311). The locking mechanism (30) includes a holding part (31) and a buckle part (32). The buckle part (32) is inserted into the slot (311) to realize the quick connection and fixation of the cap (20) and the base (10). The elastic pressure band (21) with the downward curvature of the inner arc surface of the cap (20) forms an angle with the inner arc surface of the base (10) in its natural state, which is used to clamp the drip irrigation tape. When the cap (20) is fixedly connected to the slot (311) through the buckle part (32), the elastic pressure band (21) is deformed by force and tightly fits the surface of the drip irrigation tape, thereby realizing the stable clamping and sealing of the drip irrigation tape.

[0022] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the elastic pressure band (21) is made of a corrosion-resistant and anti-aging material to adapt to long-term outdoor use and ensure that its elastic performance does not decrease due to changes in the external environment. In addition, the arc-shaped structure design of the elastic pressure band (21) is adapted to drip irrigation tapes of different diameters, thereby improving its versatility and adaptability.

[0023] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this application, a relief groove (22) is provided in the middle of the cap (20) for the elastic pressure band (21) to be embedded. The two ends of the elastic pressure band (21) are fixed to the beginning and end of the relief groove (22), so that the elastic pressure band (21) can deform smoothly and fit tightly against the surface of the drip irrigation tape when the cap (20) is closed, while avoiding deformation failure caused by external force. Alternatively, the elastic pressure band (21) is made of an elastic material integrally formed and extended from the inward recess of the middle of the cap (20).

[0024] The recessed groove (22) allows the elastic band (21) to partially embed into the groove when under pressure, thereby enhancing the clamping force of the cap (20) on the drip irrigation tape and preventing damage to the drip irrigation tape due to pressure concentration. Simultaneously, the edges of the recessed groove (22) are rounded to reduce stress concentration and improve the overall structural reliability of the device. The elastic band (21) expands outwards when deformed, avoiding interference with the cap (20) body. The recessed groove (22) not only increases the deformation space of the elastic band (21) but also enhances stability and sealing effect during clamping.

[0025] During installation, the operator only needs to place the drip irrigation tape on the inner arc surface of the base (10), then close the pressure cap (20) by rotating the shaft, and snap the buckle (32) into the slot (311) to quickly clamp and fix the drip irrigation tape. When water is introduced, the drip irrigation tape will expand due to internal pressure. At this time, the elastic pressure band (21) will further adhere to the surface of the drip irrigation tape through its own elasticity, thereby enhancing the fixing effect and preventing loosening. At the same time, the entire device is made of high-strength plastic injection molding, which has good weather resistance and mechanical strength, such as polypropylene or ABS engineering plastic, ensuring that it is not easily deformed or aged during long-term outdoor use. The whole process does not require the use of additional tools, saving installation time and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the fixing device has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and maintain, and is suitable for various complex terrain environments, with strong practicality and promotion value.

[0026] Furthermore, a notch (312) is provided in the middle of the holding part (31), and the latching part (32) includes a connecting rod (321) extending from the pressure cover (20). The end of the connecting rod (321) is formed with a latching rod (322) perpendicular to its central axis. The latching rod (322) and the connecting rod (321) are integrally formed, which is convenient for processing and forming and improves the overall strength. The connecting rod (321) can undergo elastic deformation during the latching process, so that when the latching rod (322) can pass over the edge of the slot (311) and embed into the notch (312), a restoring force is generated, so that the latching rod (322) is tightly locked into the slot (311), thereby realizing the quick locking and stable connection of the pressure cover (20).

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom of the base (10) extends outward to form a pin (11) for insertion into the soil to enhance the overall stability and prevent displacement of the device due to external vibration or water flow impact. The pin (11) and the base (10) are integrated into one piece, with sufficient rigidity and insertion depth to ensure vertical fixation even in complex terrain.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a boss (12) is formed outwardly at the bottom of the base (10), and a groove (13) is formed on the upper surface of the boss (12) to accommodate the head of the pin (11). The design of the groove (13) ensures that the screw does not protrude from the surface of the base (10) when fixed, avoiding interference with the drip irrigation tape or other components, while improving the flatness and aesthetics of the overall structure. The pin (11) passes through the boss (12) and is held in the groove (13), and is secured by a nut (14) to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off during use. The sidewall of the nut (14) has a ridge (15) for easy hand tightening, making it easy for operators to tighten or disassemble by hand without the need for additional tools. This design not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces maintenance difficulty, making it particularly suitable for field operation environments.

[0029] In addition, an anti-slip washer (16) is provided between the nut (14) and the groove (13) to prevent loosening caused by vibration or water pressure impact. The anti-slip washer (16) is made of rubber or silicone, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, and can effectively increase friction to prevent the nut (14) from loosening due to external force during long-term use.

[0030] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
