Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation technology, and in particular to an irrigation controller. Background Technology

[0002] Irrigation controllers are used to automatically control the switching on and off of irrigation systems, enabling automatic irrigation and reducing the burden of manual supervision. Existing irrigation controllers, such as those shown in patent application number CN201320246463.7, include a controller body, valves, an inlet, and an outlet. In use, the inlet is connected to a faucet, and the outlet is connected to an irrigation pipe. After the irrigation plan is set, the controller body controls the valve to achieve automatic irrigation.

[0003] After the irrigation controller occupies the faucet, it can only supply water to the irrigation system and cannot dispense tap water for temporary use. It will be very inconvenient for users to get water from the faucet. For example, before the irrigation controller was installed, users could get water or wash things at the faucet. However, after the irrigation controller is installed, it is generally not removed for a long time, and users cannot go to the faucet to get water as usual. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing irrigation controllers that cannot dispense tap water for temporary use, this invention proposes an irrigation controller that can dispense tap water for temporary use, thus providing convenience for users with temporary water needs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An irrigation controller includes a housing, a three-way valve body, a controller body, a main solenoid valve, a secondary solenoid valve, an inlet fixed connector, and an outlet fixed connector. The three-way valve body is disposed in the housing and includes an inlet connector, a main outlet connector, and a secondary outlet connector. The inlet connector extends upward through the housing and is rotatably sealed with an inlet fixed connector. The main outlet connector extends downward through the housing and is rotatably sealed with an outlet fixed connector. The secondary outlet connector extends horizontally through the side of the housing. The main solenoid valve and the secondary solenoid valve are respectively mounted on the main outlet connector and the secondary outlet connector and are controlled by the controller body, which is disposed in the housing. The irrigation controller also includes a setting button, a screen, and an outlet button. The setting button and the screen are disposed on the side of the housing away from the secondary outlet connector. Pressing the setting button sets the control logic of the controller body. The outlet button is disposed on the outside of the housing. Pressing the outlet button controls the opening and closing of the secondary solenoid valve.

[0006] With the above settings, when the irrigation controller is installed on the faucet, pressing the water outlet button will allow water to flow from the secondary water outlet, making it convenient for users to use water temporarily. In addition, the housing of this application can be rotated, thereby adjusting the direction of the screen and the secondary water outlet, which facilitates the setting of the irrigation controller and temporary water use.

[0007] Furthermore, a battery mounting port is provided on the lower side of the housing. The irrigation controller also includes a battery, a battery compartment, and a cover. The battery compartment is installed inside the housing, with the opening of the battery compartment facing downwards and aligned with the battery mounting port. The battery is installed in the battery compartment, and the cover is detachably connected to the battery mounting port.

[0008] With the above setup, battery power is used, and the battery can be quickly replaced.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the cover and the battery mounting port.

[0010] The above design improves the seal between the cover and the battery mounting port, preventing water from entering the casing.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer end of the auxiliary water outlet connector is bent downwards.

[0012] With the above settings, the secondary water outlet will discharge water downwards, reducing splashing.

[0013] Furthermore, the horizontal distance w between the outlet of the auxiliary water connector and the shell is 30mm. <w<50mm。

[0014] Furthermore, the water outlet button is located on the upper side of the housing, and the water outlet button is located on the side of the water inlet connector near the auxiliary water outlet connector.

[0015] With the above settings, when the secondary water outlet is downward, the water flow can stay as far away from the water outlet button as possible, thus protecting the water outlet button. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an irrigation controller includes a housing 3, a three-way valve body 4, a controller main body 5, a main solenoid valve 6, a secondary solenoid valve 7, an inlet fixed connector 8, and an outlet fixed connector 9. The three-way valve body 4 is disposed in the housing 3 and includes an inlet connector 41, a main outlet connector 42, and a secondary outlet connector 43. The inlet connector 41 penetrates the housing 3 upwards and is rotatably sealed with the inlet fixed connector 8. The main outlet connector 42 penetrates the housing 3 downwards and is rotatably sealed with the outlet fixed connector 9. The secondary outlet connector 43 penetrates the housing 3 horizontally. On the side, the main solenoid valve 6 and the auxiliary solenoid valve 7 are respectively installed on the main water outlet connector 42 and the auxiliary water outlet connector 43, and are controlled by the controller body 5. The controller body 5 is installed in the housing 3. The irrigation controller also includes a setting button 10, a screen 11 and a water outlet button 12. The setting button 10 and the screen 11 are installed on the side of the housing 3 away from the auxiliary water outlet connector 43. Pressing the setting button 10 sets the control logic of the controller body 5. The water outlet button 12 is installed on the outside of the housing 3. Pressing the water outlet button 12 controls the opening and closing of the auxiliary solenoid valve 7.

[0022] With the above settings, when the irrigation controller is installed on the faucet, pressing the water outlet button 12 will allow water to flow from the auxiliary water outlet connector 43, making it convenient for users to use water temporarily. In addition, the housing 3 of this application can be rotated, thereby adjusting the direction of the screen 11 and the auxiliary water outlet connector 43, which facilitates the setting of the irrigation controller and temporary water use.

[0023] Specifically, the housing 3 is basically a hollow cylindrical structure. The water inlet connector 41 vertically penetrates the upper center of the housing 3, and the main water outlet connector 42 vertically penetrates the lower center of the housing 3. Both the main solenoid valve 6 and the auxiliary solenoid valve 7 are commercially available solenoid valves, and their specific structures will not be described in detail. The controller body 5 controls the start and stop of the main solenoid valve 6 and the auxiliary solenoid valve 7. Both the main solenoid valve 6 and the auxiliary solenoid valve 7 are located inside the housing 3, and the housing 3 protects the main solenoid valve 6 and the auxiliary solenoid valve 7. The controller body 5 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 3 on the side away from the auxiliary water outlet connector 43 by screws. The controller body 5 can refer to existing irrigation controllers, and will not be described in detail. It is used to control the start and stop of the main solenoid valve 6 according to the set logic, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic irrigation. In specific use, the water inlet connector 41 is connected to an existing faucet through the water inlet fixed connector 8. The water inlet connector 41 and the water inlet fixed connector 8 can rotate freely. The main water outlet connector 42 is connected to the water outlet connector 8 through the water outlet connector 8. The water fixing connector 9 connects to the existing irrigation system's water pipe. The main water outlet connector 42 and the water outlet fixing connector 9 can rotate freely, that is, the housing 3 of this application can rotate freely around its own axis. When rotating, the water inlet fixing connector 8 and the water outlet fixing connector 9 remain stationary, and the housing 3 rotates synchronously with the internal components, thereby adjusting the direction of the screen 11 and the auxiliary water outlet connector 43. During normal use, the screen 11 and the setting button 10 are in front. Pressing the setting button 10 sets the control logic of the controller body 5, such as the irrigation cycle and frequency. The screen 11 displays the UI interface of the controller body 5. After the settings are completed, the controller body 5 controls the opening and closing of the main solenoid valve 6 according to the predetermined control logic. When the main solenoid valve 6 is open, the faucet delivers water to the irrigation system through the water inlet fixing connector 8, the water inlet connector 41, the main water outlet connector 42, and the water outlet fixing connector 9. When the user needs to fill the faucet, the user can rotate the housing 3 180°, such as... Figure 4 At this time, the auxiliary water outlet connector 43 faces forward to facilitate water use for the user. After pressing the water outlet button 12, the water outlet button 12 sends an opening signal to the auxiliary solenoid valve 7 through the controller body 5. The auxiliary solenoid valve 7 opens, and the water from the faucet flows out through the water inlet fixed connector 8, the water inlet connector 41, and the auxiliary water outlet connector 43 to meet the temporary water use needs. Pressing the water outlet button 12 again sends a closing signal to the auxiliary solenoid valve 7 through the controller body 5. The auxiliary solenoid valve 7 closes, and the auxiliary water outlet connector 43 stops discharging water.

[0024] As one implementation, a battery mounting port 13 is provided on the lower side of the housing 3. The irrigation controller also includes a battery 14, a battery compartment 16 and a cover plate 15. The battery compartment 16 is installed inside the housing 3, with the opening of the battery compartment 16 facing downwards and aligned with the battery mounting port 13. The battery 14 is installed in the battery compartment 16, and the cover plate 15 is detachably connected to the battery mounting port 13.

[0025] With the above setup, power is supplied by battery 14, and battery 14 can be quickly replaced.

[0026] The battery 14 in this application specifically uses a size 5 battery. The battery compartment 16 supports the battery 14 and prevents it from shaking inside the housing 3. The cover 15 can be locked to the battery mounting port 13 by a snap-fit ​​structure or fasteners to seal the housing 3 and prevent water from entering. The battery 14 supplies power to the main solenoid valve 6, the auxiliary solenoid valve 7, and the controller body 5. When the battery 14 needs to be replaced, the cover 15 is removed, the battery 14 is taken out downwards from the battery mounting port 13, the new battery 14 is inserted upwards into the battery compartment 16 through the battery mounting port 13, and finally the cover 15 is reinstalled.

[0027] As one implementation method, a sealing ring 17 is provided between the cover plate 15 and the battery mounting port 13.

[0028] The above settings improve the sealing between the cover plate 15 and the battery mounting port 13, preventing water from entering the housing 3.

[0029] As one implementation method, the outer end of the auxiliary water outlet connector 43 is bent downward.

[0030] With the above settings, the secondary water outlet 43 will discharge water downwards, reducing splashing.

[0031] As one implementation method, the horizontal distance w between the outlet of the auxiliary water outlet connector 43 and the housing 3 is 30mm. <w<50mm。

[0032] As one implementation, the water outlet button 12 is located on the upper side of the housing 3, and the water outlet button 12 is located on the side of the water inlet connector 41 near the auxiliary water outlet connector 43.

[0033] With the above settings, when the auxiliary water outlet 43 discharges water downwards, the water flow can stay as far away from the water outlet button 12 as possible, thus protecting the water outlet button 12.

[0034] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
