An irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation

Abstract

This utility model discloses an irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation, relating to the field of kiwifruit cultivation technology. It includes a main body, which is a hollow box structure. A water pump is fixedly connected to the inner side of the main body, and an output pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the water pump. Two sets of symmetrically arranged first vertical plates are fixedly connected to the upper side of the main body. A rotating seat is rotatably connected between the two sets of first vertical plates. An irrigation mechanism is installed on the upper side of the rotating seat, and a protruding plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating seat. A lifting mechanism is installed on one side of the protruding plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kiwifruit cultivation technology, and more specifically, to an irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Kiwi vines grow vigorously, with branches and leaves intertwined at varying heights on the trellis, forming a complex three-dimensional structure. Traditional sprinkler irrigation equipment, such as fixed sprinklers or simple rotating sprinklers, has a relatively fixed spray angle and coverage area. When dealing with the uneven growth characteristics of kiwi vines, this irrigation method often fails to evenly cover all areas with water, especially the higher vines and the edges of the trellis, which are prone to insufficient irrigation, affecting the growth and yield of the fruit trees.

[0003] Existing irrigation devices generally suffer from limited coverage and inconvenient adjustment. Fixed sprinklers cannot simultaneously meet the water requirements of kiwifruit trees at different distances and elevations, often resulting in uneven irrigation. Areas near the device may be too wet, while branches and leaves at greater distances or elevations may not receive sufficient water. Manually adjusting the sprinkler angle is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to achieve dynamic and uniform spraying over a wide area, leading to water waste and poor irrigation results. Therefore, to address the above technical problems, an irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation. During irrigation, the drive motor drives the rotating plate to periodically push against the convex plate, forcing the nozzle assembly to rise around the axis. After the contact is broken, the nozzle automatically falls back due to gravity and is limited by the stop plate, realizing continuous reciprocating swing. This automated vertical swing makes the nozzle form a fan-shaped irrigation area, while expanding the horizontal coverage distance and vertical adjustment height, accurately adapting to the height distribution of kiwifruit vines, and significantly improving irrigation efficiency and uniformity.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: An irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation includes a main body, which is a hollow box structure. A water pump is fixedly connected to the inner side of the main body, and an output pipe is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water pump. The end of the output pipe passes through the upper side of the main body and is placed on the outside. Two sets of symmetrically arranged first upright plates are fixedly connected to the upper side of the main body. A rotating seat is rotatably connected between the two sets of first upright plates. An irrigation mechanism is installed on the upper side of the rotating seat. A protruding plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating seat, and a lifting mechanism is installed on one side of the protruding plate.

[0006] Preferably, a first water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the device.

[0007] Preferably, a second water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the other side of the main body of the device.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected between the two sets of first upright plates, and the rotating seat is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixing rod.

[0009] Preferably, the irrigation mechanism includes a fixing block, a long guide tube, a nozzle, and a long hose. The fixing block is fixedly connected to the outside of the long guide tube and to the upper side of the rotating seat. The nozzle is fixedly connected to the end of the long guide tube, and the long hose is fixedly connected between the long guide tube and the output pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a second upright plate, a drive motor, a rotating rod, and a rotating plate. The second upright plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the main body of the device, and there are two sets of second upright plates arranged symmetrically. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the outside of one set of second upright plates. The rotating rod is rotatably connected between the two sets of second upright plates, and the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the drive motor. The rotating plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod, and the rotating plate abuts against the protruding plate.

[0011] Preferably, a stop plate is fixedly connected between the two sets of first upright plates, and the stop plate is located on the lower side of the rotating seat and close to it.

[0012] Preferably, a PLC processor is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body of the device, and the PLC processor is connected to the water pump and the drive motor for communication.

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: This utility model proposes an irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation. A motor drives a nozzle assembly to swing back and forth, creating a vertical fan-shaped spray area that significantly expands the irrigation coverage. The nozzles automatically fall back and precisely position themselves under gravity, evenly covering the varying heights of the kiwifruit vines. This allows for large-scale, three-dimensional irrigation without manual intervention, effectively solving the problem of insufficient coverage of high and distant branches and leaves in traditional sprinkler systems. Furthermore, the swinging spray method enhances the penetrating power of the water flow, ensuring that water reaches the dense foliage, improving irrigation uniformity and preventing water waste. This device is particularly suitable for the needs of kiwifruit trellis cultivation. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model proposes an irrigation device for kiwifruit cultivation, comprising a main body 1, which serves as the foundation and support structure for the entire irrigation system. The empty box structure is used to store irrigation water. A water pump 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the main body 1, providing power for the entire irrigation system and enabling pressurized water delivery. An output pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water pump 4, serving as the water output channel. The end of the output pipe 5 passes through the upper side of the main body 1 and is positioned externally, guiding the water output by the water pump 4 to the irrigation mechanism.

[0017] A first water inlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1 of the device, and a second water inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the other side of the main body 1 of the device. When in use, the device is placed at the bottom of the kiwi tree planting rack and water is introduced through the first water inlet pipe 2 and the second water inlet pipe 3 for irrigation.

[0018] Two sets of first upright plates 6 serve as the supporting structure for the rotating seat 8, and are fixedly connected to the upper side of the main body 1 of the device and arranged symmetrically. The rotating seat 8 is rotatably connected between the two sets of first upright plates 6. The rotating seat 8 serves as the mounting platform for the irrigation mechanism and can be angled. A fixing rod 7 is fixedly connected between the two sets of first upright plates 6. The fixing rod 7 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the rotating seat 8, and the rotating seat 8 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixing rod 7.

[0019] The irrigation mechanism includes a fixing block 9, a long conduit 10, a sprinkler head 11, and a long flexible hose 12. The fixing block 9 serves as a fixing component for the long conduit 10 and is fixedly connected to the outside of the long conduit 10. The fixing block 9 is also fixedly connected to the upper side of the rotating seat 8, securing the entire irrigation mechanism to the rotating seat 8. The sprinkler head 11, as the final water outlet component, is fixedly connected to the end of the long conduit 10. The long flexible hose 12, as a flexible connecting pipe, is fixedly connected between the long conduit 10 and the output pipe 5, ensuring unobstructed water flow when the rotating seat 8 rotates.

[0020] The lifting mechanism includes a second upright plate 14, a drive motor 15, a rotating rod 16, and a rotating plate 17. The second upright plate 14 serves as the mounting base for the drive mechanism and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the main body 1 of the device. There are two sets of second upright plates 14 arranged symmetrically. The drive motor 15 serves as the power source and is fixedly connected to the outside of one set of second upright plates 14. The rotating rod 16 serves as a transmission component and is rotatably connected between the two sets of second upright plates 14. The rotating rod 16 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 15. The rotating plate 17 serves as the actuating component and is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 16. The rotating plate 17 abuts against the protruding plate 13 to achieve power transmission.

[0021] A stop plate 18 is fixedly connected between the two sets of first upright plates 6. The stop plate 18 serves as a limiting component for the rotating seat 8, and is located on the lower side of the rotating seat 8 and close to it, ensuring accurate positioning when the rotating seat 8 is reset. A PLC processor 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body 1 of the device. The PLC processor 19 serves as the control center, and it has communication connections with the water pump 4 and the drive motor 15, realizing intelligent control of the entire device.

[0022] The working principle of an irrigation device for kiwi fruit cultivation based on an embodiment is as follows: During irrigation, the water pump 4 is first started to pump the water stored inside the main body 1 through the output pipe 5. The water then flows through the long hose 12 to the long conduit 10, and is finally sprayed out by the nozzle 11 for basic irrigation. At the same time, the drive motor 15 is started, and its output end drives the fixedly connected rotating rod 16 to rotate. The rotating plate 17 fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 16 rotates accordingly. When it abuts against the convex plate 13 on the outside of the rotating seat 8, it pushes the convex plate 13 to make the entire rotating seat 8 rotate upward around the fixed rod 7 and lift it up. As the rotating plate 17 continues to rotate until it disengages from the convex plate 13, the rotating seat 8 and the irrigation mechanism installed on it are lifted by gravity. The rotating seat 8 automatically reverses downwards to reset until the bottom of the rotating seat 8 comes into contact with the fixed support plate 18 below, thus achieving positioning. The drive motor 15 continues to run, which drives the rotating plate 17 to periodically push against the protruding plate 13 and then disengage, thereby driving the rotating seat 8 and the sprinkler head 11 above it to continuously swing up and down. This periodic swing in the vertical direction makes the irrigation range of the sprinkler head 11 cover a fan-shaped area, which not only significantly increases the horizontal irrigation distance and can effectively cover kiwi trees further away, but also realizes the dynamic change of the irrigation height in the vertical direction, thereby accurately adapting to the differentiated irrigation needs of kiwi trees of different growth heights, and greatly improving the uniformity of irrigation and the efficiency of coverage.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
