Description

Water supply equipment for tree cultivation

The present invention relates to a device for supplying water to trees by moving the moisture of the basement to the upper portion without additional power, and more specifically, to increase the groundwater to the root of the tree so that the tree grows well in an environment where soil moisture is insufficient, such as a desert. It relates to a device for supplying.

Yellow dust is a phenomenon caused by sand and soil dust being blown up into the air by a strong rising air of low pressure, falling to Korea in the spring of Mongolia's Gobi Desert, Yellow River, and North China. Depending on the winter dryness of the source and the development of low pressure through the region, it occurs 20 times in March-May every year and reaches Korea.

Yellow dust in Korea began around the end of March and the average number of yellow dust days in Seoul (1961-1990) averaged 2.5 days in March-May, but the frequency of occurrence is gradually increasing due to anomalies such as global warming. Doing.

The main components of yellow dust are quartz, feldspar, mica, and kaolin. The particle size is 0.25 ~ 0.5 mm, and the finest particle is 0.001 mm. The yellow dust particles enter the human's throat and cause inflammation. It may cause bronchitis, damage the cornea, enter the eye, and cause infection easily, and various contaminants from China and Mongolia enter the country through airflow, causing various epidemics such as foot and mouth disease and bird flu. Is very large.

In addition, in the case of crops, sunlight is blocked, and thus the amount of sunlight is reduced, and the loess dust blocks the pores of the plants, causing the crops to be poorly grown, causing enormous obstacles to farming. In addition, the engine is worn and damaged by the airplane engine, and damage to engineering and precision machinery on the ground is also very damaging.

According to Mongolia's environmental organization 'Sine Wills', the desertification of the Gobi Desert caused the nearby desertification, leaving 140,000 km of arable land, 683 rivers dried up, and the average annual temperature was 2 compared to the 1940s. It rose about ℃. Rainfall in the Gobi Desert is now 10% lower than in the 1940s. The Mongolian government and the Northeast Asian nations planted a tree on the zigzag road 3,000km along the upper horizon of the Gobi Desert across the border between Mongolia and China, creating a sand barrier, which cost $ 150 million. The Green Wall project, which takes 30 years to complete, is designated as a national project and actively promoted. The Korean government and private organizations have created windbreaks to block the heavy sand winds of the Gobi Desert, which has caused damage to yellow dust in Northeast Asia including Korea. The Gobi Desert Trees project is underway to reduce the

Hundreds of thousands of trees, such as Ulmus, Fumilana, Tamarix, etc., which will stretch out to the sky even under strong sunlight and low moisture, are actually planted in some parts of the Gobi Desert. Mobilized several months ago, the plant watered the trees, but in a harsh environment, 20-50% of the early planted trees died, and most of them are still in progress.

This is due to the dry weather on the desert surface, which is mainly due to the inadequate water supply to the trees, and the desert soil environment also does not provide adequate energy sources for the trees.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, buried deeply underground or flowing underground water so that trees can grow well in a poor soil environment, such as a desert, water supply is not desired smoothly to the ground without extra power It is a technical problem to provide a water supply device for tree cultivation for supplying water to trees by moving.

Water supplying apparatus for tree cultivation according to the present invention, the porous powder is densely packed in the inside of the outer shell of the porous fiber tissue material rod-shaped water transfer member to transfer the moisture to one side; It is made of a water-impermeable material, the casing (tube) casing (casing) for wrapping and protecting at least one moisture transfer member; characterized in that it comprises a.

In the present invention, the outer shell of the water transfer member is preferably made of a paper material of a very dense fibrous state of a myriad of pores, the paper as the outer shell of the water transfer member of the present invention, for example, the fibers separated from the bark of the mulberry as a raw material Korean paper is more suitable. Hanji not only has a very good adsorption capacity, but it is also very tough and hardly changes its shape when put in water for a long time without external impact.

The porous powder filled in the outer cover of the water transfer member may be either charcoal powder, activated carbon, or porous ceramic. In particular, charcoal powder or activated charcoal is a porous material, which has a very good adsorption ability and also has a purification function, and not only moves the groundwater to the upper portion but also serves to purify the contaminated water in the underground during transportation. Such charcoal powder or activated carbon is made of pure carbon, which may be an energy source for trees.

The diameter and length of the water transfer member and the casing may be variously determined as needed, and the number of water transfer members inserted into one casing may be variously adjusted as necessary. The diameter of the water transfer member is preferably from about 1cm to about 20cm in size, but is not limited thereto. The length of the water transfer member may be variously varied from about 30cm to about several meters.

The casing may be any material as long as it can protect the moisture transfer member, but a resin material such as PVC is preferable. The casing may be a flexible resin material that can be bent to facilitate embedding in a curved terrain.

Meanwhile, two or more casings may be interconnected and extended. To this end, coupling means may be formed at the end of the casing. The coupling means includes all known coupling means. Preferably one way is inserted into the other is suitable, of course, the screw method is also possible.

Preferably, the present invention may further comprise a separate branch connection means may be configured to supply water to a plurality of trees at the same time by branching from one casing to several casings. Such branch connection means include all known connection means, the connection angle may be configured in various ways.

Here, one end or both ends of the casing, if the casing is installed horizontally, the end of the casing may not be blocked. However, when the casing is installed in the vertical direction, and the installation portion is directly exposed to water, such as groundwater, it is preferable that the end thereof is closed in order to stably support the water transfer member. If the end is blocked, a plurality of water holes are formed so that water flows into the surroundings.

On the inner wall of the casing, a plurality of thin grooves may be formed along its longitudinal direction. When the water transfer member and the casing are in close contact with each other, it forms a separate very thin channel to help smooth movement.

On the other hand, the present invention may further include an air supply means for supplying air to the lower end of the buried casing. The air supplied by the air supply means can smoothly increase the moisture along the thin groove of the inner wall of the casing. The air supply means may connect the piston of the cylindrical air injection pump to the crank shaft, and fix the vane to the crank shaft to supply only wind power without additional power.

According to the present invention, since the moisture transport member is very densely filled with charcoal powder or activated charcoal in the paper outer shell of a very dense porous fibrous tissue, the underground water or underground water buried deep in the underground when installed in the desert has osmotic pressure and By the principle of capillary, paper and charcoal powder are easily moved to the upper part.

As a result, water can be supplied to desert trees without any external power or power, thereby contributing to desert tree planting at low cost, and reducing the yellow dust damage to protect national health and agricultural and industrial facilities. You can also expect.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings as an embodiment of the tree planting water supply apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 to 3, the water supply device for planting trees according to the present invention basically includes a rod-shaped water transfer member 10 for transferring the water of the lower part such as groundwater to the upper portion, and the water transfer member 10 ) To prevent damage from physical contact or impact from the outside and at the same time to prevent the leakage of water, the tubular casing (20) surrounds the moisture transfer member (10) to protect the configuration of the water supply pipe (1) Take it.

Moisture transfer member 10 is a porous powder 12 is densely packed inside the outer shell 11 of the fibrous material material having a very dense number of pores, it is configured to transfer the moisture by the osmotic pressure and capillary principle.

For this purpose, the outer shell 11 is preferably made of a paper material, and for example, Korean paper is suitable for having relatively tight pores and strong moisture. However, the outer shell 11 is not limited thereto, and for example, may be composed of a flexible porous synthetic resin sheet.

As the porous powder 12, various kinds such as charcoal powder, activated carbon powder, or porous ceramic powder may be used, and a powdery material having a very small particle may be selected. Among them, charcoal powder and activated carbon are particularly suitable because they have a pollutant purification function in addition to water absorption and transport. Charcoal powder and activated carbon are pure carbon and thus may be an energy source for trees.

Only one water transfer member 10 may be provided inside the casing 20 as shown in FIG. 3, but preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, several water transfer members 10 are provided in one casing 20. It is better to insert densely. This increases the area of contact with the water of the ground water and the shell 11 provides a better water transfer effect.

At both ends of the casing 20,

coupling portions

21 and 22 are provided so as to be interconnected with other water supply pipes 1, so that the water supply pipe 1 can be extended to an arbitrary length. The

coupling portion

21, 22 may be any shape as long as the two casing 20 can be connected to each other, for example, it may be configured in a simple fitting manner as shown.

That is, one of the casing 20 has a diameter of the outer periphery is reduced to form a water coupling portion 21, the other side of the inner periphery is expanded to form a female coupling portion 22 to form two adjacent water supply pipes (1) The male and

female coupling parts

21 and 22 of the casing 20 are configured to fit each other. In this case, a screw (not shown) may be formed on the male and

female coupling parts

21 and 22 to increase the coupling force.

As shown in FIG. 5A, a plurality of thin grooves 25 may be formed along the longitudinal direction of the inner wall of the casing 20. This may form another capillary tube when the water transfer member 10 and the casing 20 are in close contact with each other, thereby increasing the movement of water more smoothly. In addition, when the width of the thin groove is configured to be smaller than the width between the grooves, as shown in FIG. 5b, the grooves between the water supply pipes extending even after the engagement of the male and

female coupling parts

21 and 22 may be connected to maintain a continuous water movement path.

The casing 20 may be made of any material as long as it can protect the moisture transfer member 10. Preferably, the casing 20 may be made of a resin material, and may be made of a flexible resin material so that it can be easily bent according to the terrain when buried.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, one moisture supply pipe 1 may be branched into several small moisture supply pipes 1. The water supply device of the present invention for this branch may further include a branch connecting means 30 for interconnecting the casing 20 of the large and small moisture supply pipe (1a) (1b).

The branch connection means 30 has a configuration in which a plurality of outlets 32 are formed at various angles in one inlet 31. In this case, the water transfer path is branched and changed into several small water supply pipes 1b relatively small as they rise from the large water supply pipe 1a touching the groundwater to the upper layer, and thus, more than one tree T as shown in FIG. In addition to supplying water efficiently, water may be simultaneously supplied to a plurality of trees T distributed in a large area as shown in FIG. 9.

Casing 20 end of the water supply pipe (1) in contact with the ground water is configured in a clogged form to prevent the settlement of the water transfer member (10), as shown in Figure 6 a plurality of around the end of the casing (20) It is preferable that the water passage hole 23 is provided. In addition, a plurality of water passages 23 may be provided in an end plate 24 that blocks the end of the casing 20.

On the other hand, the water supply device of the present invention, as schematically shown in Figure 10 further includes an air supply means for supplying air to the bottom of the casing 20 of the water supply pipe (1) in order to increase the water transfer efficiency can do.

As shown in FIG. 10, the air supply means 40 has a cylindrical air injection pump 41 and a crank connected to a piston 43 of the air injection pump 41 by a connecting rod 44. Supply hose for supplying the air discharged from the shaft 45, the pinwheel 46 fixed to one end of the crank shaft 45 and the air injection pump 41 to the lower casing 20 of the water supply pipe (1) 47).

The air supply means 40 is embedded in the housing 48 except the pinwheel 46. The pinwheel can move continuously from side to side depending on the wind direction. Although the air discharged from the air injection pump 41 may be individually supplied to only one moisture supply pipe 1. In this case, the number of the air supply means 40 increases, which is not preferable.

Accordingly, the present invention is provided with an air storage tank 49 connected to the outlet of the air injection pump 41 in the housing 48, and the supply hose 47 is connected to the air storage tank 49, respectively. Two supply valves 49a are provided to simultaneously supply air to the plurality of water supply pipes 1. In this case, a check valve 50 in which outside air is sucked by the piston 43 reciprocating in the cylinder 42 may be provided in the air storage tank 49.

The air injecting means 40 is the crankshaft 45 is rotated as the pinwheel 46 is rotated by the wind, accordingly the piston 43 reciprocates while suctioning the outside air through the check valve 50 to moisture By supplying air to the bottom of the casing 20 of the supply pipe (1) to provide a moisture rising effect to the moisture transfer member (10).

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the air A flows into the end of the water supply rod 1 through the air injection means and rises upward along the thin groove 25 inside the casing. Elevation of the air can cause the moisture present in the thin grooves to rise more quickly, and the air keeps in contact with the moisture to maintain high humidity.

In the present invention as described above, it is preferable to embed the water supply pipe 1 in the ground around the tree T. In the desert and the like, since the surface temperature of the ground is very high, moisture that has risen through the water transfer member 10 naturally penetrates into the ground, and the underground water continues to infiltrate the water transfer member 10 as new water escapes. By moving to the tree (T) it is possible to continuously supply water.

In addition, the water supply pipe (1) of the present invention can be buried so that one side is submerged in the desert oasis (R) as well as groundwater to supply water to the tree (T), even in this case in one large water supply pipe (1a) Through the branch connection means 30 can be connected to several small water supply pipe (1b) at the same time to supply water efficiently.

In order to bury the water supply device for planting trees of the present invention, first, the ground water is investigated using a probe in the case of ground water, and then drilled to a position where the ground water is identified by using a screw excavator and a large-scale supply and demand supply pipe 1a. Insert Then, the sand is dug up to a predetermined depth below the ground surface by using a fork lane or the like, and then several small water supply pipes 1b are buried using the branch connection means 30.

In the case of the desert, it is easier to dig sand or soil to a certain depth, and to bury the water supply pipe (1) compared to other soils. In the upper part of the tree (T) to design a place to plant, and then install a small water supply pipe (1b) according to all the buried work is completed.

After completion of the embedding work planting the tree (T) according to the position, the method of filling the water transfer member 10 with water by putting a large amount of water on the surface for a predetermined time. This not only keeps the water of the initial tree or seedlings sufficiently, but also the amount of water evaporated from the water transfer member 10 in the upper layer in the same manner as the water is filled in the entire water transfer member 10 to pull up the groundwater by the principle of the pump. The water in the groundwater rises immediately, allowing groundwater to move to the ground without power.

Alternatively, it is also preferable to infiltrate the water transfer member 10 by embedding it in advance when the water supply pipe 1 is buried underground. In this case, while saving the supply of water, there is an advantage in that water can be more clearly filled in the entire water transfer member 10.
