Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes that can be remotely controlled. It is suitable for irrigating green vegetation in areas where water trucks cannot access, and belongs to the field of mining equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] In mining operations, the ecological restoration and greening of slopes are crucial. On the one hand, vegetation can effectively prevent soil erosion on mine slopes and reduce the risk of geological disasters such as landslides; on the other hand, good vegetation cover helps improve the ecological environment around the mine and reduce the negative impact of mining activities on the surrounding area. However, traditional mine slope irrigation methods have many problems. For example, using manual switches for irrigation is not only inefficient, but also poses safety hazards due to the complex terrain of mine slopes, making it easy for personnel to have accidents while operating on the slopes. If water trucks are used for irrigation, they are difficult to access in narrow areas of the slope, failing to meet irrigation needs. In addition, due to the lack of precise irrigation control methods, under-irrigation or over-irrigation is prone to occur, affecting vegetation growth and wasting water resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of irrigation device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes, ensuring precise irrigation of mine slope vegetation, improving irrigation efficiency, and eliminating safety hazards.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes includes an irrigation pipeline network, a high-level water source, and a monitoring center. The irrigation pipeline network includes a main pipeline and multiple irrigation sub-networks. The high end of the main pipeline is connected to the high-level water source via an electrically controlled main valve, and the low end extends downward along the mine slope. The multiple irrigation sub-networks are laid on different buffer steps of the mine slope. Irrigation holes are distributed on the water supply pipelines of the irrigation sub-networks. One end of each irrigation sub-network is connected to the main pipeline via an electrically controlled valve, and a groundwater level monitor is installed near the other end. The groundwater level monitor is connected to the monitoring center via a signal line. The electrically controlled valves and the electrically controlled main valve are connected to the monitoring center via wireless signals.

[0005] The aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes uses normally open electric valves with remote control functions for the electrically controlled valves and normally closed electric valves with remote control functions for the main electrically controlled valve.

[0006] In the aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes, the irrigation holes on the water supply pipeline of the irrigation subnetwork are opposite to the mine slope.

[0007] The aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes includes a high-level water source comprising a high-level water tank, a water supply pipe, and a water storage tank that are higher than the irrigation pipeline network. The high-level water tank and the water storage tank are connected by a water supply pipe, and the main pipeline is connected to the high-level water tank through an electrically controlled main valve.

[0008] The aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes has a siphon pipe for water supply, and a filter is installed on the water supply pipe.

[0009] In the aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes, the bottom of the elevated water tank is lower than the bottom of the water storage pool.

[0010] The aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes includes a monitoring center comprising a PC and an audible and visual alarm connected by a cable. The PC is connected to a groundwater level monitor via a signal line and to an electrically controlled valve and a main electrically controlled valve via a wireless signal.

[0011] The aforementioned remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes also includes a monitoring center with a large screen connected to a PC.

[0012] This utility model uses a monitoring center to remotely control the irrigation network to irrigate the green vegetation on the mine slope. Compared with traditional irrigation methods, it not only has high irrigation efficiency and precise water volume control, effectively promoting the growth of green vegetation on the slope, but also eliminates safety hazards caused by personnel operating valves or water trucks entering narrow areas.

[0016] This utility model provides a remotely controllable energy-saving irrigation device for mine slopes, which effectively solves the problem of irrigating green vegetation in areas inaccessible to water trucks. It also eliminates the safety hazards caused by manual operation of switches and water trucks entering narrow areas, achieving precise irrigation and promoting the growth of green vegetation on slopes.

[0017] See Figures 1-3 This utility model comprises three parts: an irrigation pipeline network, an elevated water source, and a monitoring center 11. The irrigation pipeline network is connected to the monitoring center 11 via wireless signals.

[0018] Irrigation network: The system includes a main pipeline 4, an electrically controlled main valve 3, an irrigation sub-network 5, electrically controlled valves 7, and a groundwater level monitor 8. The irrigation network is evenly distributed on the buffer steps of the mine slope 9. During actual installation, the laying spacing and direction of the irrigation sub-network 5 can be reasonably determined according to the length and width of the steps to ensure uniform irrigation. Irrigation holes 6 are set on the side of the water supply pipeline of the irrigation sub-network 5 facing the slope, which can spray water on the mine slope 9 and effectively prevent debris from clogging the water supply pipeline. One irrigation sub-network 5 is set on each horizontal step, and each irrigation sub-network 5 is connected to the main pipeline 4 through a remote electrically controlled valve 7. The electrically controlled valve 7 is a normally open electric valve with remote control function, which is connected to the PC terminal computer 15 in the monitoring center 11 through a wireless signal to realize the opening and closing control of the electrically controlled valve 7. A groundwater level monitor 8 is installed near the end of the irrigation sub-network 5 on each horizontal step, away from the main pipeline 4. It is connected to the PC terminal computer 15 in the monitoring center 11 via a signal line. It monitors the geological water content of the slope step at all times. When the water content approaches the set upper limit parameter, it automatically sends a signal to the PC terminal computer 15 in the monitoring center 11 to control the electric control valve 7 of the irrigation sub-network 5 on the step to close and stop the irrigation of that step.

[0019] The main pipeline 4 is connected to the elevated water source via an electrically controlled main valve 3. The electrically controlled main valve 3 is a normally closed electric valve with remote control functionality. It connects wirelessly to a PC 15 in the monitoring center 11. On the PC 15 in the monitoring center 11, operators can send open and close commands to the electrically controlled main valve 3 via control software, thereby controlling the water supply switch of the main pipeline 4 and opening or closing the entire irrigation network. In special circumstances, such as equipment debugging, maintenance, or malfunction, the system can switch to manual control mode. Operators can manually control the opening and closing of the system via the PC 15 to achieve remote control of irrigation at each level. In manual control mode, the monitoring data from the groundwater level monitor 8 can still be displayed in real-time on the PC 15, providing reference for the operators.

[0020] High-level water source: The system comprises an elevated water tank 2 (higher than the irrigation network), a water supply pipe 1, and a reservoir 10, utilizing the elevation difference to provide water for irrigation. The bottom of the elevated water tank 2 is 10 cm lower than the bottom of the reservoir 10. The elevated water tank 2 and the reservoir 10 are connected by the water supply pipe 1, utilizing the siphon effect to automatically replenish water from the reservoir 10. To ensure the stable operation of the siphon effect, the water supply pipe 1 connecting the elevated water tank 2 and the reservoir 10 should have a certain diameter and minimize bends. A filter can be installed on the water supply pipe 1 to prevent impurities from the reservoir 10 from entering the elevated water tank 2 and affecting the normal operation of the irrigation system. The main pipeline 4 is connected to the elevated water tank 2 via an electrically controlled main valve 3. The entire system operates without additional power equipment, saving energy and reducing equipment costs and maintenance difficulty. Monitoring Center 11: The system includes a PC (15) and an audible and visual alarm (12), connected by a cable. The electrically controlled valve (7) is a remotely controlled electric valve connected to the PC (15) via wireless signal for on / off control. Each groundwater level monitor (8) is connected to the PC (15) via a signal line, constantly monitoring the geological moisture content of its corresponding slope step. When the irrigation water volume for a particular step reaches a suitable level, the groundwater level monitor (8) transmits a signal to the PC (15), which automatically controls the electrically controlled valve (7) of that step to close, stopping the water flow. After all slopes are irrigated, the PC (15) automatically controls the electrically controlled main valve (3) on the main pipeline (4) to close, thus achieving remote-controlled irrigation from bottom to top across the horizontal slopes. On the PC (15), operators can send open and close commands to the electrically controlled main valve (3) via control software, thereby controlling the water supply to the main pipeline (4) and enabling or disabling the entire irrigation network.

[0021] When equipment or system malfunctions and the slope irrigation water volume approaches its limit, the PC terminal 15 will trigger the audible and visual alarm 12, reminding dispatchers to immediately manually and remotely stop irrigation to prevent slope accidents. The monitoring center 11 can also be equipped with a large screen 13 connected to the PC terminal 15 to visually display the irrigation status of each step, groundwater level monitoring data, and other information, facilitating monitoring and management by dispatchers. The PC terminal 15 is located at the dispatching workstation 14 for easy operation and control of the entire irrigation system.

[0022] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Preventing safety accidents: The remote control function eliminates the need for personnel to operate switches in dangerous areas on mine slopes, thus eliminating safety hazards caused by manual operation; at the same time, it also eliminates the need for water trucks to enter narrow areas, reducing the risk of vehicles driving in complex terrain. Achieving precision irrigation: Groundwater level monitoring instruments can monitor soil moisture content in real time, enabling precise irrigation, avoiding over-irrigation, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of vegetation and improves the efficiency of water resource utilization.

[0023] Energy-saving and environmentally friendly operation: It utilizes the elevation difference to provide water power, eliminating the need for additional power equipment, reducing energy consumption, and meeting the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.
