Description

石斛大棚种植用滴灌器Drip irrigation device for greenhouse planting of dendrobium

技术领域Technical field

本实用新型涉及滴灌器领域,更具体地说,涉及石斛大棚种植用滴灌器。The utility model relates to the field of drip irrigation devices, and more specifically, to a drip irrigation device for greenhouse planting of dendrobium.

背景技术Background technique

滴灌是利用塑料管道将水通过直径约10mm毛管上的孔口或滴头送到作物根部进行局部灌溉。Drip irrigation uses plastic pipes to send water to the roots of crops through the orifices or drippers on the capillary tubes with a diameter of about 10mm for local irrigation.

目前滴灌器多数只能对一个位置进行滴灌,不能同时对多个位置进行滴灌,从而降低了滴灌效果,而且现有的滴灌器多数没有设置过滤装置,不易对水中的污垢进行过滤收集,从而在长时间的使用后滴灌器容易被水中污垢堵塞,影响使用效果。At present, most drip irrigation devices can only drip irrigate one location and cannot drip irrigation to multiple locations at the same time, thus reducing the drip irrigation effect. Moreover, most existing drip irrigation devices do not have a filter device, making it difficult to filter and collect dirt in the water. After long-term use, the drip irrigation device is easily blocked by dirt in the water, affecting the use effect.

例如,公告号CN115997594A公开的一种大棚种植用滴灌设备,包括控制单元和灌溉单元,控制单元设置在大棚旁,灌溉单元铺设在大棚地面上,控制单元包括电控箱,灌溉单元包括水箱、主滴灌带、多个分滴灌带、多个滴灌喷头和多个延长器,水箱通过管路和主滴灌带连通,管路上设置有过滤器,多个分滴灌带间隔铺设在大棚地面上,且均和主滴灌带连通,滴灌喷头可拆卸连接在分滴灌带上,延长器连接在滴灌喷头处。本发明延长器可拆卸、可弯折、可伸缩的连接在滴灌喷头处,使得整个灌溉设备既不需要改变原有滴灌带和多个滴灌喷头的布置、不会增加种植成本又能形成彻底针对植株的局部灌溉,结构简单,高效便捷。For example, Announcement No. CN115997594A discloses a drip irrigation equipment for greenhouse planting, including a control unit and an irrigation unit. The control unit is set next to the greenhouse, and the irrigation unit is laid on the ground of the greenhouse. The control unit includes an electric control box, and the irrigation unit includes a water tank, a main Drip irrigation belts, multiple sub-drip irrigation belts, multiple drip irrigation nozzles and multiple extenders. The water tank is connected to the main drip irrigation belt through pipelines. There are filters on the pipelines. Multiple sub-drip irrigation belts are laid at intervals on the greenhouse floor and are evenly spaced. It is connected to the main drip irrigation belt, the drip irrigation sprinkler head can be detachably connected to the sub-drip irrigation belt, and the extender is connected to the drip irrigation sprinkler head. The extender of the present invention is detachable, bendable and telescopically connected to the drip irrigation nozzle, so that the entire irrigation equipment does not need to change the original drip irrigation belt and the layout of multiple drip irrigation nozzles, does not increase the planting cost, and can form a completely targeted Partial irrigation of plants is simple in structure, efficient and convenient.

由上述公开方案可知,滴灌器没有设置能够给多个位置进行滴灌的功能,也没有设置过滤集污装置。It can be seen from the above-mentioned public solution that the drip irrigation device is not equipped with the function of drip irrigation for multiple locations, nor is it equipped with a filtering and collecting device.
