First, the drip irrigation hose according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a hose body 110 and a wick 120 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

The hose body 110 is formed of a material having excellent elasticity.

For example, the hose body 110 is formed by using a material such as polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, soft synthetic resin, or rubber.

The hose body 110 is preferably formed using a polyurethane material.

When the hose body 110 is formed of a polyurethane material in the above, it is excellent in abrasion resistance (for example, 2.5 to 5 times better than a rubber hose, 3 to 4 times superior to a soft polyvinyl chloride hose), Lightweight and excellent elasticity, it is possible to observe the flow of the contents in a transparent or translucent. In addition, when the hose body 110 is formed of a polyurethane material, the mechanical strength is excellent, the elasticity and elasticity is very good, the resilience is good and the permanent compression rate is low, the durability is excellent, it is not easily torn and not easily damaged You can get it. When the hose body 110 is formed of a polyurethane material, it has a high chemical resistance, excellent weather resistance against ultraviolet rays and weather, high softening point, and high heat resistance, which is safer than other soft synthetic resins or rubbers in case of fire. In addition, when the hose body 110 is formed of a polyurethane material, the elasticity at a low temperature is very large, even when working in the winter, there is a low risk of breakage.

The wick 120 is installed to penetrate one side of the outer circumferential surface at regular intervals on the hose body 110.

The wick 120 performs a function of guiding a portion of the water flowing inside the hose main body 110 to be stored to the outside.

The wick 120 includes a tube body 122 and a drip fiber body 124.

The tube body 122 penetrates one side of the outer circumferential surface of the hose body 110.

The tube body 122 is formed using a soft synthetic resin (for example, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.) that is changed in shape when an external force is applied.

The drop fiber body 124 is inserted into the tube body 122.

The drop fiber body 124 guides a portion of water flowing inside the hose body 110 to the outside by capillary action.

The drop fiber body 124 is composed of a plurality of fibers.

The drop fiber body 124 may be inserted into the tube body 122 in a state in which several strands of fibers such as yarn are not integrated, and the tube body in a state in which a plurality of fiber strands are integrated in a bundle using an adhesive or the like. It is also possible to be inserted into the 122.

As the fibers constituting the drop fiber body 124, both natural fibers and synthetic fibers may be used, and a mixture of fibers of various materials may be used.

The wick 120 is press-fitted into the wick hole 112 formed in the hose body 110.

It is also possible to add nutrients suitable for plant growth to the water supplied from the water supply source 610 as necessary.

When the water supply source 610 is configured as a water tank, the water supply source 610 may be installed at a position higher than the position of the hose body 110 so that water may naturally move toward the hose body 110 by gravity.

The water supply opening and closing valve 624 is installed in the main water supply pipe 620. The water supply opening and closing valve 624 is preferably configured using a solenoid valve or the like so as to be automatically controlled by a control signal.

The main water supply pipe 620 is installed to connect the water supply source 610 and the hose body 110.

Water from the water supply source 610 is supplied to the hose body 110 through the main water supply pipe 620.

The drain pipe 630 is provided with a drain opening and closing valve 634. The drain opening and closing valve 634 is preferably configured using a solenoid valve or the like so that it can be automatically controlled by a control signal.

The drain pipe 630 is connected to the end (end) of the hose body 110 is installed to be drained to the ground or drain or drain.

Water remaining in the hose body 110 is discharged to the ground or the sewer through the drain pipe 630.

The drain pipe 690 is used to return the water of the hose body 110 back to the water supply source 610 for reuse.

The temperature measuring unit 642 is configured to measure the temperature of the area near the plant for supplying water through the hose body 110.

The temperature measuring unit 642 is configured using a temperature sensor and the like, and is preferably configured using a digital temperature sensor to effectively transmit a measurement signal to the control unit 660.

The rainfall detecting unit 644 is installed near the plant is configured to detect whether the rain (rain or rain) in the area where the hose body 110 is installed.

The rainfall detecting unit 644 is configured using a rainfall meter or a rainfall sensor.

The temperature measuring unit 642 and the rainfall detecting unit 644 may be installed in a single substrate.

The controller 660 is configured to apply a control signal to the water supply opening / closing valve 624 and the drain opening / closing valve 634 according to measurement signals input from the temperature measuring unit 642 and the rainfall detecting unit 644.

For example, the control unit 660 opens the water supply opening and closing valve 624 to close the water supply state supplying water from the water supply source 610 to the hose main body 110 and the water supply opening and closing valve 624. The drain opening / closing valve 634 is opened to control the drainage state of draining the water remaining in the hose body 110 according to the measurement signals from the temperature measuring unit 642 and the rainfall detecting unit 644. .

If the measured value input from the temperature measuring unit 642 is less than a set temperature (for example, 0 ° C.), the control unit 660 applies a control signal for changing to a closed state to the water supply opening / closing valve 624. A control signal for changing to the open state is applied to the drain opening / closing valve 634.

By switching to the drainage state as described above by applying a control signal from the control unit 660, the water supplied to the hose main body 110 is blocked, the water remaining in the hose main body 110 is drain pipe 630 Drain is achieved through Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accident (freezing accident) in which water inside the hose body 110 is frozen and broken.

When the measured value input from the temperature measuring unit 642 is equal to or higher than a set temperature (for example, 0 ° C.), the control unit 660 applies a control signal for changing to an open state to the water supply opening / closing valve 624. A control signal for changing to the closed state is applied to the drain opening / closing valve 634. At this time, when the water supplied from the water supply source 610 is naturally generated and flows down (for example, spring water, stream water, river water, etc.), and it is possible to continue to flow the drain opening and closing valve 634 in a closed state It is also possible not to change it.

By supplying a control signal to the control unit 660 by switching to the water supply state as described above, water is supplied to the hose main body 110.

In the above description, the control is performed by the controller 660 based on 0 ° C., which is the temperature at which the water freezes. ), It is also possible to configure the control unit 660 to block the supply of water.

If the plant planted around the hose body 110 is a plant (eg, a cactus, etc.) that does not require continuous supply of water, a timer (not shown) is connected to the control unit 660 by a predetermined cycle ( For example, it may be configured to supply and shut off water in units of time, daily units, weekly units, and the like.

When the rain signal is input from the rainfall detecting unit 644, the controller 660 applies a control signal for changing the water supply opening / closing valve 624 to a closed state.

The controller 660 changes the water supply opening / closing valve 624 to the closed state when a raining signal is input from the rainfall detecting unit 644 regardless of the temperature measurement value input from the temperature measuring unit 642. Apply the control signal.

That is, since it is not necessary to supply water to plants planted separately in rainy weather, the water supply opening and closing valve 624 of the main water supply pipe 620 supplying water to the hose body 110 is changed to a closed state.

In the case of closing the water supply opening / closing valve 624 by the rainfall signal inputted from the rainfall detecting unit 644, the drain opening / closing valve 634 may be changed to an open state, and the closed state may be maintained. It is possible. For example, in a rainy weather, it is also possible to maintain the drain opening and closing valve 634 in a closed state so that water remains in the hose body 110, and the hose opening 110 is opened by opening the drain opening and closing valve 634. It is also possible to drain water.

When the measurement signal is input as rain from the rainfall detecting unit 644, the controller 660 is in a drained state as in the case where the temperature measurement value is input from the temperature measuring unit 642 below the set temperature. It is also possible to configure to switch the control.

When the rain signal is not input from the rainfall detector 644, the controller 660 maintains a control state according to the temperature measurement value input from the temperature measurer 642.

For example, when the rain signal is input from the rainfall detection unit 644 and the rain signal is not input, the control unit 660 changes a control signal from the closed state to the open state in the water supply opening / closing valve 624. Apply.

By applying the control signal in response to the measurement signal of the rainfall detection unit 644 in the control unit 660 as described above, the supply of water to the hose body 110 is blocked in the rain, thereby minimizing unnecessary waste of water It is possible. In other words, when it rains, since the plant or soil around the hose body 110 can sufficiently absorb moisture from the rain, it is not necessary to supply additional water.

The control unit 660 may be configured to adjust the amount of water supply in accordance with the temperature measurement value measured by the temperature measuring unit 642 by adjusting the opening degree of the water supply opening and closing valve 624.

For example, when the temperature measured by the temperature measuring unit 642 is a high temperature of 30 ° C. or more, the controller 660 maintains a sufficient amount of water by adjusting the opening degree of the water supply opening / closing valve 624 to the maximum. When the temperature measured by the temperature measuring unit 642 is in the range of 25 to 30 ° C., the opening degree of the water supply opening / closing valve 624 is adjusted between the middle and the maximum to maintain the water supply in the middle, and the temperature measurement When the temperature measured in the unit 642 is in the range of 15 to 25 ° C., the opening degree of the water supply opening / closing valve 624 may be adjusted between the minimum and the middle to maintain a small amount of water supply.

When the water pressure is kept small even when the water supply opening / closing valve 624 is changed to the open state, the hose main body 110 according to the extent to which the plant surrounding the area where the hose main body 110 is embedded sucks moisture from the soil. ) Water is consumed, so the water supply is naturally made.

In the control unit 660, the normal water supply state does not only mean changing the water supply opening / closing valve 624 to an open state, but depending on the amount of water consumed by the plant around the area where the hose main body 110 is embedded. Therefore, it means a state of controlling the amount of water supplied intermittently or continuously.

For example, the control unit 660 may be configured to adjust the opening degree of the water supply opening / closing valve 624 according to the consumption of water between the minimum and the maximum in the water supply state, and the opening and closing of the water supply opening and closing valve 624. It is also possible to configure the water supply to be controlled by repeating the closing at regular intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly). Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to configure the control unit 660 to automatically control the supply of water in accordance with the weather, temperature, type of plant, and the like.

When the pump 670 is installed as described above, it is possible to freely set the height of the water supply source 610 (for example, the height of the water tank) regardless of the height of the hose body 110.

In the case of the pump 670 installed as described above, the control unit 660 is configured to apply a control signal for operation.

The control unit 660 applies a control signal to stop the operation of the pump 670 when the water supply opening and closing valve 624 is changed to the closed state, and when the water supply opening and closing valve 624 is changed to the open state. The control signal for operating the pump 670 is applied.

In the case of installing the pump 670 as described above, even if the water supply opening and closing valve 624 is changed to an open state, when the pump 670 does not operate, the supply of water is limited. It is possible to adjust the supply amount of water by controlling by the control part 660.

26 and 27, the water supply device 600 generates power using solar light, solar heat, wind power, hydraulic power, and the like, and supplies power to the control unit 660, the pump 670, and the like. It is also possible to further include a portion 650.

When the self-generation unit 650 is installed as described above, it is possible to effectively maintain the automatic control function even when installed outside for a long time, and the hose body 110 is effectively installed even in an area or a point where power supply is difficult. It is possible to operate by. For example, even when the hose main body 110 is installed on the wall of the billboard or the structure installed on the side of the road, it is possible to effectively operate the landscaping system if the power is supplied by power generated by natural force.

The self-generating unit 650 includes a solar cell module 652, a storage battery 654 electrically connected to the solar cell module 652, and an inverter 656 electrically connected to the storage battery 654. It is done by

The solar cell module 652 is installed to be inclined to a predetermined height by using a column to facilitate the irradiation of sunlight.

The inverter 656 is configured to convert the 12 to 24V DC voltage of the storage battery 654 into 220V AC voltage. That is, when the pump 670 uses an AC voltage, it is preferable to install an inverter 656.

The inverter 656 is connected to a control unit 660 for controlling the pump 670 and the like.

In the case where the pump 670 is used as a direct current pump, it is not necessary to use the inverter 656.

The self-generating unit 650 may further include a power stabilization device or the like to stably supply constant power as necessary.

Although not shown in the drawings, the self-generating unit 650 may be configured to supply power to a flow control valve, a lighting device, etc. in addition to the pump 670 and the control unit 660.

In the above, the self-generating unit 650 is described as using the solar cell module 652 which generates power by using solar light. In addition, the self-generating unit is applied by applying a small wind power generation system to generate power by using wind power.
