Description

АВТОНОМНОЕ УСТРОЙСТВО ДЛЯ ПОЛИВА РАСТЕНИЙ OFFLINE DEVICE FOR PLANT WATERING
ОПИСАНИЕDESCRIPTION
Устройство относится к оросительным системам и предназначено для организации автономного полива сельскохозяйственных культур и растений, как в теплицах, парниках и приусадебных участках, так и для полива комнатных растений.The device relates to irrigation systems and is intended for the organization of autonomous irrigation of crops and plants, both in greenhouses, greenhouses and household plots, and for watering indoor plants.
Из уровня техники известен патент RU 2333632, описывающий устройство для автоматического полива растений, включающее питающий резервуар с установленным в нем на отметке срабатывания сифоном, пусковую емкость и испарительный лоток, отличающееся тем, что оно снабжено запорным рычажным клапаном и трубкой перелива, пусковая емкость имеет форму ковша и выполнена с возможностью свободного вращательно-колебательного движения вокруг шарнирной оси между двумя ограничителями, испарительный лоток установлен на пружинах, надетых на штыри, закрепленные на верхней кромке стенки питающего резервуара, на испарительном лотке закреплен неподвижно толкатель, соединенный шарнирно с рычагом запорного клапана, на входе в запорный клапан установлен вентиль, регулирующий поток воды, а трубка перелива соединена с оросительной сетью. Недостатком данного решения является сложность конструкции, потребность в подводящей магистрали для наполнения емкости водой. Кроме того, действие устройства во время и после дождя сопряжено с риском остановки системы. Это связано с тем, что во время дождя в испарительном лотке-крышке накапливается дождевая вода. Масса этой воды через толкатель оказывает давление на рычаг запорного клапана, который закрывает доступ воды из подводящей магистрали. После прекращения дождя через определенное время, которое достигается путем выбора глубины крышки резервуара, дождевая вода испаряется. Под действием пружин крышка питающего резервуара поднимается вверх и тянет за собой толкатель, рычаг и клапан, открывая путь потоку воды в питающий резервуар. При этом на стадии частичного наполнения испарительного лотка поток воды также перекрывается частично, аналогично системе подачи и наполнения бачка унитаза водой. Таким образом, клапан подачи воды закроется только при полном наполнении испарительного лотка, что будет сопровождаться медленной подачей воды в емкость, даже во время дождя.The patent RU 2333632 is known from the prior art, which describes a device for automatic watering of plants, including a feed tank with a siphon installed in it at the trigger point, a launch tank and an evaporation tray, characterized in that it is equipped with a locking lever valve and overflow tube, the starting tank has the form bucket and is made with the possibility of free rotational-oscillatory movement around the hinge axis between the two stops, the evaporation tray is mounted on springs worn on the pins, fixed s on the upper edge of the wall of the supply reservoir to the evaporating tray pusher fixedly mounted, pivotally connected to a lever of the isolation valve, inlet isolation valve is a valve that regulates the flow of water, and the overflow pipe is connected to the irrigation network. The disadvantage of this solution is the design complexity, the need for a supply line for filling the tank with water. In addition, the operation of the device during and after rain carries the risk of shutting down the system. This is due to the fact that rain accumulates in the evaporative lid during rain. The mass of this water through the pusher exerts pressure on the lever of the shut-off valve, which closes the access of water from the supply line. After the rain stops after a certain time, which is achieved by choosing the depth of the tank lid, the rainwater evaporates. Under the action of the springs, the lid of the supply tank rises and pulls the pusher, lever and valve, opening the way for the flow of water into the supply tank. At the same time, at the stage of partial filling of the evaporation tray, the water flow is also partially blocked, similarly to the system for supplying and filling the toilet bowl with water. Thus, the water valve closes only when it is full. evaporation tray, which will be accompanied by a slow supply of water into the tank, even during rain.
Также недостатком данной системы является ее ограниченное назначение для организации автоматического полива сельскохозяйственных культур и растений под открытым небом. Для комнатных растений данное решение неприменимо. Из уровня техники известен патент RU 2255464. Решение описывает устройство для полива растений, содержащее расположенный над емкостью с растением герметичный резервуар с питающей жидкостью, выходной трубкой и гидрозатвором внизу и воздухопропускной трубкой вверху, один конец которой опущен в герметичный резервуар, а другой снабжен датчиком-регулятором влажности с тонковолокнистым дном, установленным в грунт емкости с растением, отличающееся тем, что элементы . устройства размещены в общем корпусе, в котором на горизонтальной оси вращения, под выходной трубкой установлен опрокидывающийся ковш-дозатор, снабженный магнитным фиксатором исходного положения.Another disadvantage of this system is its limited purpose for organizing automatic irrigation of crops and plants in the open. For indoor plants, this solution does not apply. The patent RU 2255464 is known from the prior art. The solution describes a device for watering plants, comprising a sealed reservoir with a feeding liquid located above a plant container, an outlet pipe and a water seal at the bottom and an air pipe at the top, one end of which is lowered into a sealed tank, and the other is equipped with a sensor humidity regulator with a thin fiber bottom installed in the soil of a container with a plant, characterized in that the elements. the devices are housed in a common housing in which on a horizontal axis of rotation, a tipping bucket-doser is installed under the outlet tube, equipped with a magnetic lock of the initial position.
Недостатком данного решения является ограниченность бачка резервуара, а значит и ограниченное время функционирования устройства полива. Также недостатком является невозможность применения данного устройства для полива садовых и огородных растений.The disadvantage of this solution is the limited reservoir tank, and hence the limited functioning time of the irrigation device. Another disadvantage is the impossibility of using this device for irrigation of garden and garden plants.
Кроме того, устройство полива в данном решении имеет высокий риск неработоспособности. Это связано с тем, что после полива, как только грунт емкости с растением напитается жидкостью, тонковолокнистый материал датчика-регулятора не пропускает через себя воздух и поступление его в герметичный резервуар прекращается. Очередной полив станет возможным после высыхания грунта, когда воздух поступит в герметичный резервуар, цикл повторится. Однако, слабым местом данной системы работы устройства является то, что вокруг датчика-регулятора грунт может подсохнуть сплошной коркой так, что воздух через тонковолокнистый материал датчика перестанет поступать даже при высыхании грунта. Тогда действие системы полива прекратится.In addition, the irrigation device in this solution has a high risk of inoperability. This is due to the fact that after irrigation, as soon as the soil of the container with the plant is saturated with liquid, the fine-fiber material of the sensor-regulator does not let air through it and its flow into the sealed tank stops. The next watering will become possible after the drying of the soil, when the air enters the sealed tank, the cycle will be repeated. However, the weak point of this system of operation of the device is that around the sensor-controller the soil can dry out with a continuous crust so that air through the fine-fiber material of the sensor will cease to flow even when the soil dries. Then the action of the irrigation system will cease.
Наиболее близким аналогом является патент RU 2331189. Данное решение принято за прототип. Описана система полива растений, содержащая приемную емкость для воды, питательную трубку, сифон с механизмом запуска, всасывающим коленом и трубкой- датчиком, соединенной с атмосферой, гидравлический канал, сообщающийся с сифоном, и распределительный трубопровод для полива растений, отличающаяся тем, что питательная трубка снабжена дозирующим клапаном с запорным устройством, а сифон выполнен в виде тройника с двумя входными патрубками и одним или двумя выходными патрубками, при этом один входной патрубок подсоединен посредством шланга к механизму запуска сифона, другой - к трубке-датчику, а выходной патрубок - к гидравлическому каналу, причем последний, посредством разветвителя, соединен с распределительным трубопроводом для полива растений, концы которого снабжены капельницами, при этом механизм запуска сифона содержит гидравлический насос, который установлен на дне приемной емкости и снабжен электронным пусковым устройством (ЭПУ) с программатором и фотоэлектрическим датчиком, при этом ЭПУ выполнено с возможностью автоматического управления процессом полива растений по заданной программе.The closest analogue is the patent RU 2331189. This decision is taken as a prototype. An irrigation system for plants is described, comprising a receiving container for water, a feeding tube, a siphon with a trigger mechanism, a suction elbow and a sensor tube connected to the atmosphere, a hydraulic channel in communication with siphon, and a distribution pipe for watering plants, characterized in that the feed tube is equipped with a metering valve with a locking device, and the siphon is made in the form of a tee with two inlet pipes and one or two outlet pipes, while one inlet pipe is connected via a hose to the trigger siphon, the other to the sensor tube, and the outlet to the hydraulic channel, the latter, by means of a splitter, connected to a distribution pipe for watering plants, the ends of which th drippers are provided, wherein the mechanism comprises a siphon start hydraulic pump, which is installed at the bottom of the receptacle and provided with an electronic triggering device (EDA) with a programming device and a photoelectric sensor, wherein EDA is capable of automatic control of irrigation process for a given program.
Недостатком данной системы является ее ограниченное назначение для организации автоматического полива сельскохозяйственных культур и растений, преимущественно в теплицах, парниках и приусадебных участках. Для комнатных растений данная система из-за своей громоздкости неэффективна.The disadvantage of this system is its limited purpose for organizing automatic irrigation of crops and plants, mainly in greenhouses, greenhouses and household plots. For indoor plants, this system due to its bulkiness is ineffective.
Кроме того, система сложна, содержит множество элементов для контроля уровня воды в емкости и множество разветвителей.In addition, the system is complex, it contains many elements for controlling the water level in the tank and many splitters.
Технический результат: обеспечивается возможность использования как при поливе комнатных растений, так и при поливе садовых и огородных растений в открытых и закрытых грунтах; обеспечивается большая стабильность и надежность системы автоматического полива; обеспечивается большая длительность работы в автономном режиме без участия человека; обеспечивается дистанционное управление устройством.Technical result: it is possible to use both when watering indoor plants, and when watering garden and garden plants in open and closed soils; provides greater stability and reliability of the automatic irrigation system; provides a long duration of work offline without human intervention; remote control of the device is provided.

Кроме того, элемент питания может быть выполнен в виде аккумулятора с возможностью автоматической подзарядки от солнечной батареи, расположенной снаружи корпуса устройства. Устройство работает следующим образом.The claimed technical result is achieved due to the fact that the stand-alone device for watering plants, containing a receiving tank with a supplying liquid, a pump made with inlet and outlet pipes, the end of the inlet pipe is lowered into the tank, and the outlet pipe from the pump is connected to the soil with the function of watering the plants, also containing a moisture sensor, a photoelectric sensor, the communication device, the controller while the pump is configured to start from the controller, while the controller is configured to automatically control the process of watering plants according to a given program, excellent yuscheesya in that the pump, a photoelectric sensor, a communication device, the controller and the battery are arranged in the same housing, wherein the communication unit is adapted to receive and transmit data in the radio frequency or infrared. In addition, the battery can be made in the form of a battery with the possibility of automatic recharging from a solar battery located outside the device. The device operates as follows.
В соответствии с программой, заложенной в контроллер (5) (см. Фиг.2), включается гидравлический насос (6), который через входной патрубок (4), конец которого расположен на дне емкости, качает из емкости (12) (см. Фиг.l) воду и подает ее в выходной патрубок (3) непосредственно к корням (13) pacтeния(ий). Устройство содержит датчик влажности (2), который ориентируется на состояние почвы, а не на расход воды, как аналогичные известные решения. Датчик влажности почвы измеряет влажность почвы. Эти показания могут использоваться для принятия решения контроллером, когда начинать полив и когда его завершать, если пользователем не задан режим полива по таймеру. При этом таймер времени содержится в контроллере. Датчик влажности (2) может быть выполнен, например, состоящим из двух электродов из химически-неактивного материала (например, нержавеющей стали). Датчик влажности может быть выполнен съёмным, и устройство может иметь набор датчиков разнообразной формы, обеспечивающий разнообразие вариантов расположения устройства относительно растения и горшка (см. Фиг.З).In accordance with the program embedded in the controller (5) (see Figure 2), the hydraulic pump (6) is turned on, which pumps through the inlet pipe (4), the end of which is located at the bottom of the tank, from the tank (12) (see Fig.l) water and feeds it into the outlet pipe (3) directly to the roots (13) of the solution (s). The device contains a moisture sensor (2), which focuses on the state of the soil, and not on the flow of water, like similar known solutions. A soil moisture sensor measures soil moisture. These indications can be used for the controller to decide when to start watering and when to finish it, if the user has not set the timer watering mode. In this case, the time timer is contained in the controller. The humidity sensor (2) can be made, for example, consisting of two electrodes of a chemically inactive material (for example, stainless steel). The humidity sensor can be made removable, and the device can have a set of sensors of various shapes, providing a variety of options for the location of the device relative to the plant and pot (see Fig. C).

В качестве коммуникационного устройства на базе Вluеtооth модуля может использоваться, например, BLUETOOTH PAN1310, Соmрlеtе Вluеtооth 2.0 + EDR sоlutiоп или Рапаsопiс PAN4555ETU ZigВее (802.15.4) SOCKET OEM Моdulе w/ Оп-Воаrd Сhiр Апtеппа. В качестве коммуникационного устройства на базе инфракрасного приёмопередатчика можно использовать, например, коммуникационный модуль 4-Mbit/s IrDA Моdulе.The device comprises a communication device capable of transmitting in the radio frequency or infrared range. The communication device (11) is designed to remotely configure and control the device, for example, to set the amount of water during irrigation, to set the time interval between irrigation, to remotely turn on irrigation, etc. Remote control of the device can be carried out using the remote control, computer, PDA or any other suitable equipment for this. As a communication device based on the Bluetooth module, for example, the BLUETOOTH PAN1310, the Wireless Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR solutiop or the Rapopopan PAN4555ETU ZigVee (802.15.4) SOCKET OEM Module w / Opt-Voard Chip App can be used. As a communication device based on an infrared transceiver, you can use, for example, a 4-Mbit / s IrDA Module communication module.
