Description

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of water-saving irrigation for a cotton field, and in particular to a water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field based on mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply. BACKGROUND

[0003] Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is a main cotton production region in China. It is located in the northwest inland, and is a severe dry and water shortage region. Because water resources are scarce, some water-saving measures are taken usually. For example, drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation replace convolutional broad irrigation. This effectively saves the water resources. With the development of intelligence, an intelligent water-saving irrigation system is gradually applied to farmland irrigation. The intelligent water-saving irrigation system performs intelligent irrigation based on soil humidity and irrigation control strategies for different growth periods of cotton, to improve a utilization rate of the water resources.

[0004] At present, a photovoltaic system is used to supply power to an intelligent water-saving irrigation system that is most commonly used for farmland. Due to the photovoltaic system, electricity is greatly saved, and costs of electricity are reduced. However, on cloudy days or days with little sunshine for a long period of time, efficiency of converting photovoltaics into electric energy is low, and a battery voltage is reduced. As a result, an electric valve cannot be opened and closed normally. In addition, a failure rate of a photovoltaic power supply system is high. When the photovoltaic power supply system fails, the intelligent water-saving irrigation system is in a state of paralysis, and cannot run normally. If the intelligent water-saving irrigation system cannot be recovered in time, an agricultural production process is affected, resulting in economic losses. SUMMARY

[0005] The present disclosure provides a water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field based on mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply, to implement complementation between mains power supply and photovoltaic power supply. When the photovoltaic power supply fails, the system automatically switches to the mains power supply, to ensure stable power supply of the water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field and maintain normal work of the water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field.

[0006] The present disclosure provides a water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field based on mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply. The system includes: a mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply system, an information detection system, a valve drive and control system, an electric valve, and a remote monitoring center.

The valve drive and control system includes a touch screen, an RS232-to-serial UART module, a central microcontroller, an NB-IoT wireless communication module, and an optocoupler isolation relay. The remote monitoring center includes a server, a database, a mobile phone application, and a web application.

[0007] Further, the mains power supply module of the mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply system includes a switching power supply and a voltage reduction module. The switching power supply is electrically connected to the voltage reduction module. The switching power supply converts an AC220V voltage into a DC24V voltage, and supplies power to the touch screen. The electric valve, the optocoupler isolation relay, the soil humidity sensor, and the flow meter. The voltage reduction module converts the DC24V voltage into a DC5V voltage, and supplies power to the power switching module, the RS485-to-serial UART module, the RS232-to-serial UART module, the information acquisition microcontroller, the central microcontroller, and the NB-IoT wireless communication module.

[0008] Further, the photovoltaic power supply module of the mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply system includes a solar panel, a lithium battery, a solar charging controller, and a boost module. The solar panel, the lithium battery, and the boost module are electrically connected to the solar charging controller. ADC5VUSB interface is disposed on the solar charging controller and used to supply power to the power switching module, the RS485-to-serial UART module, the RS232-to-serial UART module, the information acquisition microcontroller, the central microcontroller, and the NB-IoT wireless communication module. The boost module is electrically connected to the solar charging controller, to convert a DC 12V voltage of the lithium battery into a DC24V voltage, and is used to supply power to the touch screen, the electric valve, the optocoupler isolation relay, the soil humidity sensor, and the flow meter.

[0009] Further, the power switching module of the mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply system includes a voltage detection module, a microcontroller unit (MCU), an intermediate relay, and a lithium battery charging module, and is used to detect a voltage of the lithium battery. When the voltage of the lithium battery is low, power supply by the photovoltaic power supply module is switched to power supply by the mains power supply module. In addition, the lithium battery charging module converts an AC220V voltage of the mains power supply module into a DC 12V voltage, to charge the lithium battery.

[0010] Further, the MCU microcontroller unit of the power switching module uses an STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller, the voltage detection module detects the voltage of the lithium battery and transmits the voltage of the lithium battery to the MCU. When the voltage of the lithium battery is low, the MCU control the intermediate relay to perform corresponding contact closing, to switch photovoltaic power supply to mains power supply.

[0011] Further, the soil humidity sensor of the information detection system uses a soil humidity sensor with an RS485 signal output mode. The flow meter uses an electromagnetic flow meter with an RS485 signal output mode, and has a liquid crystal display capable of displaying flow information in real time. The information acquisition microcontroller uses an STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller.

[0013] Further, the electric valve uses an electric flange butterfly valve capable of feeding back a valve status signal.

[0014] Further, the valve drive and control system includes three modes, namely, a manual mode, an automatic mode, and an intelligent mode. In the manual mode, a farmer needs to determine, based on planting experience, whether irrigation needs to be performed, opens the electric valve on-site through the touch screen, or remotely opens the electric valve through the mobile phone application or the web application, and performs irrigation. In the automatic mode, there are two setting input boxes, namely, an irrigation time input box and an irrigation volume input box, and the farmer chooses one of the two setting input boxes, and performs irrigation based on a fixed irrigation time or a fixed irrigation volume. In the intelligent mode, irrigation water is intelligently adjusted based on acquired soil humidity information and irrigation water flow information and in combination with an irrigation control algorithm for the cotton field.

[0015] Further, the automatic mode of the water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field based on mains and photovoltaic complementary power supply includes the following steps.

[0016] SI: Acquire the soil humidity parameter of the cotton field by the soil humidity sensor.

[0017] S2: The central microcontroller determines whether the soil humidity parameter is lower than a preset minimum humidity threshold. If the soil humidity parameter is lower than the preset minimum humidity threshold, the central microcontroller controls a valve of the optocoupler isolation relay to enable contact closing.

[0018] S3: Open the electric valve to perform irrigation.

[0019] S4: During irrigation, the soil humidity sensor continuously acquires the soil humidity parameter of the cotton field. When the soil humidity parameter is higher than the preset maximum humidity threshold, the central microcontroller controls the valve of the optocoupler isolation relay to disable contact closing.

[0020] S5: Close the electric valve to complete irrigation.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effect.

[0022] 1. Power is supplied to the water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field through photovoltaic power supply. This greatly reduces power consumption. In addition, mains power supply is used. When the sunlight is insufficient for a long period of time and the voltage is low, mains power supply is provided. This effectively resolves a problem that the water-saving irrigation system for a cotton field does not work normally due to a low voltage of the lithium battery or another failure of photovoltaic power supply, so that operational reliability of the system is ensured.

[0023] 2. The soil humidity parameter and the irrigation water flow information are acquired through the information detection system, and the acquired data is transmitted to the touch screen and the remote monitoring center, to implement real-time monitoring of soil humidity and the irrigation water flow information of the cotton field. The historical data may be viewed through the touch screen and the remote monitoring center, to comprehensively use irrigation information.

[0024] 3 A NB-IoT wireless communication manner with low power consumption and a long transmission distance is used, so that stability of long-distance data transmission is ensured while power consumption of the system is reduced. A cellular network is used in the NB-IoT wireless communication manner, so that a base station needs not to be built. A communication connection to the server is established through a mobile base station, to complete data transmission and issuance of a valve control instruction by the remote monitoring center. This effectively saves costs and improves degree of automation of equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
