U- INTELLIGENT SOLAR ENGERY HARVESTING BASED IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND ITS METHOD THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to irrigation systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an intelligent solar energy harvesting based irrigation system and its method thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Irrigation is a process of applying required amounts of water to plants and crops at predetermined intervals, wherein required amounts of water and predetermined intervals varies according to the type of the plants and crops. Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas. Irrigation also has other uses in crop production, including frost protection, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and preventing soil consolidation. In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed.

Existing, irrigation systems are divided into two kinds including soil moisture sensor control irrigation system and temperature sensor control irrigation system. Existing irrigation systems have solved the problem of irrigation system to a certain extent, but having various limitations.

In one solution, a rain detector for irrigation control system is provided. A rain detector is provided for preventing operation of an irrigation system upon detection of an adjustably selected amount of rainfall. The rain detector is designed for use with an automatic irrigation control system of the type including a clock controller to electrically operate one or more normally closed valves for programmed supply of irrigation water to sprinklers individually or in selected groups. The rain detector comprises a switching circuit connected electrically in series with the sprinkler valves, with the switching circuit including spaced sensors extending for an adjustable depth into a collection tray exposed to rainfall. The switching circuit is normally closed in the absence of rainfall to permit normal programmed operation of the sprinkler valves. However, when rainfall within the collection tray reaches a level bridging the sensors, the switching circuit is triggered to form an effective open circuit condition between the clock controller and the sprinkler valves, thereby closing the sprinkler valves pending evaporation of the rainwater to a level below the sensors.

In one solution, an intelligent irrigation monitoring and control system is provided. The present invention provides a kind of intelligent irrigation Monitoring and control system, it is made of function module, sensing module and server, it is controlled in being irrigated as the function Internet of Things of core using water flow control and early warning mechanism, sensing module is used to obtain the information such as the ambient temperature and humidity of real-time traffic and peripheral sensors for pouring site electronic water meter, Function module obtains the information of sensing module, it handles and is sent to server, and remote opening and closing are carried out to irrigation equipment, the information that server storage and processing function module are sent, it is grouped display in WEB page and/or is pushed to graphic software platform in APP, and feedback control is carried out to function module. The present invention carries out remote intelligent monitoring and control to irrigation system, and instant early warning is irrigated situation and irrigated according to soil moisture content, realizes the Precision Irrigation to outdoor three-dimensional green and science decision.

In one solution, an Intelligent irrigation rain sensor is provided. An intelligent irrigation rain sensor for use in an irrigation system comprises a rain sensor unit and a sensor control unit. The rain sensor unit has a rain catcher reservoir with an open top for receiving rainwater with an internal volume for holding water and tapers into a funnel. At least one droplet detector is positioned directly below the funnel opening that contacts the water droplets from the funnel. The droplet detector includes detection electrodes for sensing a change in an electrical property being monitored by a detection control in the sensor control unit and for discriminating phantom droplets from rain. Upon exceeding a rain threshold amount over measurement time period, the intelligent irrigation rain sensor issues a rain signal to the irrigation controller. The intelligent irrigation rain sensor issues a corresponding dry signal to the irrigation controller after a drying period has elapsed.

However, the existing prior art solutions are not so efficient as they are either temperature controlled or moisture-controlled irrigation system. The existing solution are incapable facilitating-controlled irrigation of the seed-plot.
