The utility model relates to an irrigation device for root zone soil root layer moisture, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, comprising a water supply tank 1, a transit water tank 2 and a root irrigation pipe 3, wherein the water supply tank 1, the transit water tank 2 and the root irrigation pipe 3 are connected in sequence through pipelines to form a loop, and the transit water tank 2 is also connected with a Ma bottle 4; a water pump 5 and an electromagnetic valve A6 are arranged between the water supply tank 1 and the transit water tank 2, an electromagnetic valve B7 is arranged between the Marshall bottle 4 and the transit water tank 2, an electromagnetic valve C8 is arranged between the transit water tank 2 and the root irrigation pipe 3, and an electromagnetic valve D9 is arranged between the root irrigation pipe 3 and the water supply tank 1; the electromagnetic valve A6, the electromagnetic valve B7, the electromagnetic valve C8, the electromagnetic valve D9 and the water pump 5 are all electrically connected with the controller 10; the controller 10 is also connected with a plurality of sensors 11, and the sensors 11 are arranged around the root irrigation pipe 3; the controller 10 is connected to a power source.
The root irrigation pipe 3 is arranged in a spiral rising mode and is buried around the root system of the fruit tree. As shown in fig. 3, a plurality of energy dissipation blocks 3-2 which are sequentially communicated are arranged in the energy dissipation device, the energy dissipation blocks 3-2 are of a structure in which a circuitous channel is arranged, a plurality of water inlet holes are formed at the beginning of the channel so that water in the pipeline can conveniently enter the energy dissipation channel, and two water outlet holes are formed at the tail end of the channel to form an outlet. The periphery of the water outlet is provided with an anti-blocking protective net 3-1 of the water outlet. The root zone irrigation mainly supplements water for the soil of the root zone of the fruit tree through water outlet holes formed in the pipe wall, and the energy dissipation blocks 3-2 realize flow distribution and energy dissipation of irrigation water, ensure that the irrigation water flows out in a drop shape, and prevent the damage to the soil structure of the root zone due to the outflow of bunched water flows; and the anti-blocking protective net 3-1 of the root irrigation water outlet can prevent soil particles from blocking the water outlet hole.
