[0026] This application provides an electric gate valve. Figure 1 , Figure 2 These are a front view and an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application, respectively. The electric gate valve 100 includes a frame 110, a gate 120, a controller 130, and an antenna assembly 140. The frame 110 includes a gate opening 1111. The gate 120 is slidably connected to the frame 110 and is used to open or close the gate opening 1111.

[0027] Figure 3 , Figure 4 This is a front view and an exploded perspective view of a portion of the controller structure in an embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application. The controller 130 includes a controller housing 132 and a drive assembly 133. The controller housing 132 is mounted on the frame 110, and the drive assembly 133 is mounted on the controller housing 132. The drive assembly 133 is connected to the gate 120 to drive the gate 120 to slide. The controller housing 132 is provided with an antenna mounting part 1321.

[0028] Antenna assembly 140 is electrically connected to controller 130 and antenna mounting part 1321. Antenna assembly 140 is height adjustable relative to antenna mounting part 1321.

[0029] The ability of the antenna assembly to be height-adjustable relative to the antenna mounting section means that the user can set the antenna assembly to the required height according to their height needs, and the antenna assembly can maintain a stable setting at that height. Thus, the height of the antenna assembly can be adjusted to meet different height requirements.

[0030] According to an embodiment of this application, the electric gate valve 100 includes a frame 110, a gate 120, and a controller 130. The frame 110 includes a gate opening 1111, and the gate 120 is slidably connected to the frame 110. By sliding the gate 120, the gate opening 1111 can be opened or closed. The controller 130 includes a controller housing 132 and a drive assembly 133. The drive assembly 133 is drively connected to the gate 120 to drive the gate 120 to slide in the direction of opening the gate opening 1111 or in the direction of closing the gate opening 1111, thereby electrically opening or closing the gate opening 1111. When the gate opening 1111 is closed, the water flow is blocked by the gate 120; when the gate opening 1111 is open, the water flow can pass through the gate opening 1111. This embodiment of the application achieves electrically controlled switching of water flow by driving the gate 120 with the controller 130, switching the water flow in a more labor-saving manner. According to an embodiment of this application, the electric gate valve 100 has an antenna mounting portion 1321 provided in the controller housing 132, and the antenna assembly 140 is connected to the antenna mounting portion 1321. When the antenna assembly 140 is installed in the antenna mounting portion 1321, the antenna assembly 140 is securely connected to the controller housing 132, improving the positional stability of the antenna assembly 140 relative to the controller 130. This prevents the connecting wire between the antenna assembly 140 and the controller 130 from being broken by external force, ensuring the normal operation of the electric gate valve 100. The antenna assembly 140 can be height-adjusted relative to the antenna mounting portion 1321, making it easy to adjust the antenna assembly 140 to a height that is not obstructed by other objects, thus improving the signal transmission and reception performance of the electric gate valve 100.

[0031] In some embodiments, the controller 130 includes a control circuit board 135 disposed within the cavity of the controller housing 132. The control circuit board 135 includes a communication module for communicating with external devices, facilitating remote control of the electric gate valve 100 and remote reception of the electric gate valve 100's status information. In some embodiments, an antenna assembly 140 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 135. The communication module can send and receive information via the antenna assembly 140, enabling wireless communication between the electric gate valve 100 and other devices.

[0032] In some embodiments, the controller 130 further includes a controller base plate 131. A controller housing 132 is mounted on the controller base plate 131. A drive assembly 133 and an output gear 134 are mounted on the controller housing 132.

[0033] Figure 5 This is a front view schematic diagram of another state of an embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application. In some embodiments, the electric gate valve 100 further includes an extension rod 150, to which the antenna assembly 140 can be mounted, and the extension rod 150 can be detachably connected to the antenna mounting portion 1321.

[0034] In one example, the antenna assembly 140 is detachably connected to one end of the extension rod 150, and the other end of the extension rod 150 can be inserted into the antenna mounting portion 1321. In another example, the extension rod 150 can be snapped into the antenna mounting portion 1321.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the antenna assembly 140 can be installed on the extension rod 150, and the extension rod 150 can be detachably connected to the antenna mounting part 1321. The extension rod 150 can realize a stable connection between the antenna assembly 140 and the controller 130, and the presence of the extension rod 150 increases the height of the antenna assembly 140, which facilitates further improvement of the antenna's signal transmission and reception performance.

[0036] In some embodiments, the controller housing 132 further includes a wire storage section 1322. The electric gate valve 100 also includes a connecting wire 160, which electrically connects the antenna assembly 140 to the controller 130. At least a portion of the connecting wire 160 can be stored in the wire storage section 1322. When the electric gate valve 100 needs to be transported or retrieved, and after the antenna assembly 140 has been fixed in place, the connecting wire 160 can be stored in the wire storage section 1322, achieving neat storage of the connecting wire 160. This facilitates the transport or retrieval of the electric gate valve 100 and avoids the problem of the connecting wire 160 being scattered and easily pulled by external forces.

[0037] Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the antenna assembly and controller structure in one embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application. In some embodiments, the wire receiving portion 1322 includes a winding portion 1322a and a limiting portion 1322b. The limiting portion 1322b is disposed around the outer edge of one side of the limiting portion 1322b, and the connecting wire 160 can be wound around the winding portion 1322a. The limiting portion 1322b is used to limit the connecting wire 160 wound on the winding portion 1322a to be located on the winding portion 1322a.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the connecting wire 160 can be wound around the winding portion 1322a and limited by the limiting portion 1322b to realize the storage of the connecting wire 160.

[0039] like Figure 3In some embodiments, the limiting part 1322b is provided with a wire-locking groove T1, in which the connecting wire 160 can be locked. The wire-locking groove T1 can limit the connecting wire 160 wound from the winding part 1322a, thereby fixing the position of the connecting wire 160 wound from the winding part 1322a, which further improves the stability of the connection between the connecting wire 160 and the antenna assembly 140 and the controller 130.

[0040] In some embodiments, the antenna mounting portion 1321 and the wire receiving portion 1322 are located on the same side surface of the controller housing 132, and the wire retaining groove T1 is located on the side of the limiting portion 1322b near the antenna mounting portion 1321. In the above embodiments, when the antenna assembly 140 is connected to the antenna mounting portion 1321, the connecting wire 160 wound from the winding portion 1322a is adjacent to the antenna assembly 140. The wire retaining groove T1 can limit the portion of the connecting wire 160 adjacent to the antenna assembly 140, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting wire 160 and the antenna assembly 140.

[0041] like Figure 4 In some embodiments, the controller 130 further includes a control circuit board 135 disposed within the inner cavity of the controller housing 132. A connector 161 is provided at the end of the connecting wire 160 away from the antenna assembly 140. The connector 161 can pass through the controller housing 132 and be electrically connected to the control circuit board 135. This connection ensures that the connecting wire 160, located outside the controller housing 132, can be electrically connected to the control circuit board 135 within the inner cavity of the controller housing 132.

[0042] like Figure 3 In some embodiments, the antenna mounting portion 1321 includes a mounting cavity and a first opening K1 communicating with the mounting cavity. The first opening K1 is located at the top of the antenna mounting portion 1321, and the antenna assembly 140 can be inserted into the mounting cavity through the first opening K1.

[0043] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of the antenna assembly and controller structure in one embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application. In some embodiments, the bottom of the mounting cavity of the antenna mounting portion 1321 is provided with a support portion 1321a and a second opening K2 communicating with the mounting cavity. In some embodiments, the support portion 1321a is disposed around at least a portion of the outer periphery of the second opening K2. The support portion 1321a can provide support for the antenna assembly 140 or extension rod 150 mounted on the antenna mounting portion 1321. The second opening K2 can discharge liquids or debris in the mounting cavity to the outside of the antenna mounting portion 1321, avoiding the accumulation of liquids such as rainwater or solids such as mud and sand in the mounting cavity, thereby improving the service life of the antenna assembly 140.

[0044] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the antenna assembly 140 can be fitted and connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity, making the height of the antenna assembly 140 within the mounting cavity adjustable. In the above embodiments, the height of the antenna assembly 140 within the mounting cavity is adjustable. Therefore, during the use of the electric gate valve 100, the height of the antenna assembly 140 can be adjusted according to communication requirements, ensuring that the electric gate valve 100 has a good antenna signal.

[0045] Figure 8 This is a partial sectional perspective view of the controller portion structure in one embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the mounting cavity is provided with at least one set of locking protrusions 1321b, which extend along the height direction of the mounting cavity, forming a locking groove 1321c between the locking protrusions 1321b and the inner wall of the mounting cavity. Figure 7 The lower part of the antenna assembly 140 is provided with a locking part 141. The locking slot 1321c engages with the locking part 141 of the antenna assembly 140, so that after the height of the antenna assembly 140 is adjusted, the locking slot 1321c and the locking part 141 are tightly engaged, maintaining the antenna assembly 140 at the target height position and ensuring the stability of the antenna signal. In one example, each set of locking protrusions 1321b includes at least two locking protrusions 1321b, and a locking slot 1321c is formed between the locking protrusions 1321b and the circumferentially curved inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0046] like Figure 3 In some embodiments, the side wall of the antenna mounting portion 1321 is provided with a connecting groove K3 communicating with the first opening K1, through which the connecting wire 160 can pass. When the antenna assembly 140 is connected to the antenna mounting portion 1321, the connecting wire 160 wound from the winding portion 1322a can pass through the connecting groove K3 on the side wall of the antenna mounting portion 1321 and enter the mounting cavity of the antenna mounting portion 1321, ensuring the smoothness of the connecting wire 160 entering the antenna mounting portion 1321 and reducing the pulling on the connecting wire 160.

[0047] like Figure 4 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 133 includes a rotation drive 1331 and a transmission unit 1332, wherein the rotation drive 1331 is connected to the output gear 134 via the transmission unit 1332. The rotation drive 1331 is, for example, a motor, and the transmission unit 1332 includes, for example, a gearbox.

[0048] In some embodiments, the controller 130 further includes an output gear 134, which is drively connected to the drive assembly 133. The gate 120 includes a rack 122, and the output gear 134 meshes with the rack 122.

[0049] Figure 9This is a perspective view of the controller in an alternative embodiment of the electric gate valve of this application. Some structures of the alternative embodiment are the same as those of the aforementioned embodiment; the differences will be described below, while the similarities will not be detailed. In one alternative embodiment, the controller housing 132 further includes a wire storage portion 1322. The electric gate valve 100 also includes a connecting wire 160, which electrically connects the antenna assembly 140 to the controller 130. At least a portion of the connecting wire 160 can be stored in the wire storage portion 1322. A connector 161 is provided at the end of the connecting wire 160 away from the antenna assembly 140.

[0050] In this embodiment, a retaining groove 1323 is connected to the outer surface of the controller housing 132, and the connecting wire 160 can be secured in the retaining groove 1323. The retaining groove 1323 can be single or multiple. By setting the retaining groove 1323, the connecting wire 160 can be fixed at a specific position, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection at both ends of the connecting wire 160.

[0051] In some embodiments, the slot 1323 includes a first slot 1323a and a second slot 1323b. The first slot 1323a is disposed on a first side near the wire receiving portion 1322, which is the side of the wire receiving portion 1322 near the connector 161. The second slot 1323b is disposed on a second side near the wire receiving portion 1322, which is the side of the wire receiving portion 1322 near the antenna mounting portion 1321.

[0052] The second slot 1323b can be directly or indirectly connected to the outer surface of the controller housing 132. In one example, the second slot 1323b is directly disposed on the outer surface of the controller housing 132. In another example, the second slot 1323b is disposed on the wire receiving portion 1322.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the first slot 1323a is disposed on the first side near the wire receiving portion 1322, and can fix the position of a portion of the connecting wire 160 located between the connector 161 and the wire receiving portion 132, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection at the connector 161. The second slot 1323b is disposed on the second side near the wire receiving portion 1322, and can fix the position of a portion of the connecting wire 160 between the wire receiving portion 132 and the antenna mounting portion 1321, ensuring the stability of the position of the connecting wire 160 at that location.

[0054] This application also provides an irrigation system for use in farmland systems. Figure 10This is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the irrigation system of this application used in a farmland system. The farmland system includes irrigation ditches 200 and multiple farmlands 300 separated from each other, each farmland 300 being separated from the irrigation ditches 200 by field ridges 400. The irrigation system includes an electrically operated gate valve 100 as described in any of the preceding embodiments. The electrically operated gate valve 100 is disposed on the field ridge 400 and is used to connect or separate the farmland 300 from the irrigation ditches 200. In some embodiments, the irrigation system includes multiple electrically operated gate valves 100, with each gate valve 100 corresponding to one of the farmlands 300.

[0055] The electric gate valve 100 includes a frame 110, a gate 120, a controller 130, and an antenna assembly 140. The frame 110 includes a gate opening 1111. The gate 120 is slidably connected to the frame 110 and is used to open or close the gate opening 1111. The controller 130 includes a controller housing 132 and a drive assembly 133. The controller housing 132 is mounted on the frame 110, and the drive assembly 133 is mounted on the controller housing 132. The drive assembly 133 is drively connected to the gate 120 to drive the gate 120 to slide. The controller housing 132 has an antenna mounting portion 1321. The antenna assembly 140 is electrically connected to the controller 130 and connected to the antenna mounting portion 1321. The antenna assembly 140 is height-adjustable relative to the antenna mounting portion 1321.

[0056] In some embodiments, the field ridge 400 is provided with a connecting pipe 500 connecting the farmland 300 and the irrigation ditch 200. The frame 110 of the electric gate valve 100 is connected to the connecting pipe 500, wherein the gate 1111 of the frame 110 is correspondingly connected to the connecting pipe 500. The connecting pipe 500 can be a rigid pipe or a deformable pipe, for example, a corrugated pipe. The material of the connecting pipe 500 can be a polymer, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

[0057] An irrigation system according to an embodiment of this application is used in a farmland system and includes an electric gate valve 100. The electric gate valve 100 includes a frame 110, a gate plate 120, and a controller 130. The frame 110 includes a gate opening 1111, and the gate plate 120 is slidably connected to the frame 110. By sliding the gate plate 120, the gate opening 1111 can be opened or closed. The controller 130 includes a controller housing 132 and a drive assembly 133. The drive assembly 133 is drivenly connected to the gate plate 120 to drive the gate plate 120 to slide in the direction of opening the gate opening 1111 or in the direction of closing the gate opening 1111, thereby electrically realizing the opening or closing of the gate opening 1111. When the gate opening 1111 is closed, the water flow is blocked by the gate plate 120. When the gate opening 1111 is open, the water flow can pass through the gate opening 1111. This embodiment of the application achieves electrically controlled switching of water flow by using a controller 130 to move the gate 120, thus saving manpower. According to this embodiment of the electric gate valve 100, the controller housing 132 is provided with an antenna mounting part 1321, and the antenna assembly 140 is connected to the antenna mounting part 1321. When the antenna assembly 140 is installed in the antenna mounting part 1321, the antenna assembly 140 is firmly connected to the controller housing 132, improving the positional stability of the antenna assembly 140 relative to the controller 130, thereby preventing the connection line between the antenna assembly 140 and the controller 130 from being broken by external force, ensuring the normal operation of the electric gate valve 100. The antenna assembly 140 can be height-adjusted relative to the antenna mounting part 1321, making it easy to adjust the antenna assembly 140 to a height that is not obstructed by other objects, improving the signal transmission and reception effects of the electric gate valve 100.
