具体实施方式
图1为本发明一实施例的浇灌系统1示意图。如图1，本实施例中，浇灌系统1包括输送管4，用于输送液体至浇灌区域A、B、C。本实施例中，输送管4与浇灌源连接，先后经过浇灌区域A、B，抵达浇灌区域C，液体由浇灌源经由输送管4输送至浇灌区域A、B、C。浇灌系统1还包括浇灌装置，与输送管连接，用于将输送管输送的液体分别浇灌至浇灌区域A、B、C。本实施例中，在一路输送管4上间隔连接至少两个浇灌装置。具体的，本实施例中，在一路输送管4上间隔连接3个浇灌装置51、52、53，分别位于浇灌区域A、B、C，以将经由输送管4传输的液体分别浇灌至浇灌区域A、B、C。
浇灌区域A、B、C为具有不同灌溉需求的区域，其中一种情况为，浇灌区域A、B、C种植有不同类型的植物，不同类型的植物对水或其他补给液的需求不同，例如，A区域的植物对水的需求比B区域的植物对水的需求多，因此A区域的浇水频率比B区域高，A 区域处于浇灌状态时B区域可能处于非浇灌状态；再例如，A区域植物需要的营养液与C区域植物需要的营养液的种类不同，则A区域浇灌对应营养液时，C区域处于非浇灌状态。浇灌区域A、B、C具有不同灌溉需求的其他情况包括：所处环境不同。例如，A区域被树荫遮蔽，因此对水的浇灌需求少，而B区域较空旷，日晒时间长，因此对水的浇灌需求多，等等。
传统的浇灌系统中，为满足不同浇灌区域的浇灌需求，为每一浇灌区域设置一路输送管，液体经不同输送管分别抵达相应浇灌区域。每一浇灌区域的浇灌工作互不干扰。在这样的系统中，若不同浇灌区域需要进行浇灌工作的时间不同，或需要浇灌的液体种类不同，可以简单的通过控制每一路输送管中液体的输送来实现。例如，当其中一个区域需要浇灌，而另一个区域不需要浇灌时，通过控制位于浇灌源处的总阀，使液体流入需要浇灌的区域对应的输送管中。再例如，当其中一个区域需要浇灌水，另一个区域需要浇灌营养液时，同样通过控制总阀，能够使水和营养液分别流入对应的输送管，从而实现相应的浇灌工作。在这样的系统中，总阀往往设置在便于用户操作的区域，例如靠近住宅的地方，这样，用户可以“就近”实现对浇灌系统的控制。
而当仅使用一路输送管浇灌多个区域时，用户则无法仅仅通过控制总阀来控制位于不同区域的浇灌装置处于不同状态。浇灌区域往往具有较大的面积，若用户手动控制位于不同浇灌区域的浇灌装置的打开和关闭，则费时费力，会给用户带来极大不便。为实现仅使用一路输送管浇灌多个区域，且使多个浇灌装置能够分别在不同时间段执行浇灌工作，本实施例的方案如下。
为实现不同浇灌装置51、52、53能够在不同时间段执行浇灌工作，如图2所示，本实施例中，每个浇灌装置51、52、53包括阀门，以及控制模块，设置在浇灌装置处，控制阀门打开或关闭。各个浇灌装置51、52、53的控制模块独立控制相应的阀门的打开或关闭，以使得至少两个浇灌装置能够分别在不同时间段执行浇灌工作。进一步的，控制模块包括通信端口，获取远程浇灌信息。控制模块根据通信端口获取的浇灌信息控制阀门的打开或关闭。
如图1所示，一实施例中，输送管内设置有传导线，传导线包括通信线41，与通信端口连接，通信端口通过通信线41获取浇灌信息。
本实施例中，每个浇灌装置51、52、53的通信端口获取来自同一通信源的浇灌信息。具体的，本实施例中，浇灌系统1包括控制中心3，通信端口与控制中心3通信连接，获取来自控制中心3的浇灌信息。即控制中心3作为通信源，与多个浇灌装置51、52、 53通信连接。
本实施例中，通信端口通过通信线41与控制中心3通信连接，获取浇灌信息。具体的，控制中心3设置在输送管4的靠近浇灌源处。
在一实施例中，控制中心3包括用户交互界面31，供用户设定浇灌信息。用户交互界面可以包括按键、触摸屏、显示屏、LED灯等。用户可以通过按键或触摸屏输入浇灌信息。浇灌信息可以包括预设排程信息，例如各个浇灌装置的工作开始时间，工作持续时间/工作结束时间，还可以包括浇灌间隔周期或工作频率，浇灌日历等。当浇灌系统1需要为不同浇灌区域配置不同种类的灌溉液体时，还可以设置不同浇灌装置浇灌的液体种类。用户还可以设定不同浇灌装置的属性，例如将浇灌装置的出厂编号修改为便于用户识别的名称，等等。显示屏或LED灯可以向用户显示当前排程信息，还可以在排程出现冲突时提示用户，例如不同种类液体的浇灌时间出现重叠等。
控制中心3还包括控制器，控制中心3的控制器与用户交互界面31连接，接收由用户交互界面输入的浇灌信息，处理浇灌信息，并将处理后的浇灌信息通过通信线41传输至浇灌装置51、52、53处。浇灌装置51、52、53的控制模块通过通信端口接收浇灌信息，并基于浇灌信息控制阀门的打开或关闭。

Figure PCTCN2019087925-appb-000001
本实施例中，各个浇灌装置51、52、53的控制模块根据通信端口接收到的浇灌信息，独立控制对应的阀门的打开和关闭，从而使得不同浇灌装置51、52、53能够分别在不同时间段执行浇灌工作，实现了仅用一路输送管4完成具有不同需求的浇灌区域的浇灌任务的目的。
本实施例中，输送管4内的传导线还包括电源线42，连接浇灌装置51、52、53和电源，以向浇灌装置51、52、53提供工作所需的电能。浇灌系统1可以由交流电供电，例如通过适配器连接市电，也可以由电池包直流供电。电源为浇灌系统1的工作提供电能，包括为控制中心3提供电能。本实施例中，电源线42可以直接连接于控制中心3的电源端。浇灌系统1的电源可以与控制中心3集成在一起，设置在输送管4的靠近浇灌源的一端。
结合图1和图3，本实施例中，信号线41和电源线42均与输送管4集成在一起，信号线41与电源线42的延伸方向与输送管4的延伸方向一致。具体的，输送管4包括传导层43，与输送液体的输液层44隔离，通信线41和电源线42设置于传导层43内。输液层44和传导层43相互隔离，以防止输送管4输送的液体影响通信线41和电源线42的性能。本实施例中，通信线41包括数据传输线，具体的，包括网线。电源线42包括导线，具体的，包括金属线。
在另一实施例中，浇灌系统包括传导线，传导线连接于浇灌装置，传导线包括通信线和电源线，因此，传导线能够同时传输通信数据和电力。传导线独立于输送管设计，具体的，传导线与输送管并行安装。具体的，浇灌装置包括电源的接口和通信接口，此处采用一个传导线同时传输通信数据和电力，则浇灌装置上的电源接口和通信接口也集成为一个综合端口，具体的，每个浇灌装置上具有两个综合端口，传导线能够将浇灌系 统中两两相邻的浇灌装置连接在一起，使得浇灌装置能够彼此通信。通过设计传导线兼具通信线和电源线的功能，使得浇灌系统耗能更低，成本更低，布线更容易。
本实施例中，浇灌装置51、52、53包括第一接口，输送管4包括与第一接口配合的第二接口。第一接口与第二接口形配，以使得第一接口与第二接口配接时，传导线的端口与浇灌装置51、52、53的对应端口对接。具体的，通信线41与通信端口对接，电源线42与电源端口对接。具体的，浇灌装置51、52、53的第一接口包括一凸起，输送管4的第二接口包括一凹槽，第一接口的凸起与第二接口的凹槽具有相互配合的形状，当且仅当第一接口的凸起嵌入第二接口的凹槽时，第一接口上与通信端口对应的端子和第二接口上与通信线41对应的端子相连接，第一接口上与电源端口对应的端子和第二接口上与电源线42对应的端子相连接。当然，第一接口与第二接口的形配还可以由很多其他结构实现，不再一一列举。此外，第一接口与第二接口还包括锁紧结构。
上述输送管4的结构，以及输送管4与浇灌装置51、52、53的配接结构，都使得用户能够简单的通过连接输送管4和浇灌装置51、52、53，实现浇灌装置51、52、53的控制连接和供电连接，简化用户的操作，改善用户体验。
本实施例的浇灌系统1，通过在输送管4中设置通信线41与电源线42，提供从控制中心3到各个浇灌装置51、52、53的数据传输和能量传输，解决了各个浇灌装置51、52、53的控制和供电问题，从而实现了一路输送管4上多个浇灌装置51、52、53的独立控制问题，使得浇灌系统1既节约成本、方便安装、美观，且方便用户操作。
本实施例中，由于控制中心3通常设置在用户易于接近的地方，例如住宅附近，因此用户能够较方便的通过控制中心3设定浇灌信息。通过本实施例的设计，用户能够方便的通过控制中心3控制多个浇灌装置的浇灌工作。
如图4，本实施例中，浇灌系统1的控制流程如下：
S1：各个浇灌装置分别获取远程浇灌信息。
具体的，控制中心3接收用户输入的浇灌信息，通过通信线41传输至各个浇灌装置51、52、53，浇灌装置51、52、53的通信端口接收浇灌信息，控制模块存储该浇灌信息。
S2：各个浇灌装置的控制模块根据浇灌信息独立控制对应阀门的打开和关闭。
具体的控制方法参见上文对表1的描述。
本发明的另一实施例中，浇灌系统1的结构和方法与上述实施例基本相同，差异在于，控制中心3包括一无线通信单元(下文称为第二无线通信单元)，通过该无线通信单元接收浇灌信息，并将接收到的浇灌信息处理后进一步传输给浇灌装置51、52、53。 即各浇灌装置51、52、53也可能通过通信线41间接的与外部控制设备实现通信连接。第二无线通信单元接收浇灌信息的方式与下文实施例中的第一无线通信单元61、62、63类似。用无线通信单元代替用户交互界面接收用户输入的信息，能够更方便用户对浇灌系统1的控制。
本发明的另一实施例中，如图5所示，浇灌装置51、52、53包括第一无线通信单元61、62、63，与通信端口连接，通信端口通过第一无线通信单元61、62、63获取信息。浇灌装置51、52、53通过第一无线通信单元61、62、63，既可以与浇灌系统1的控制中心3通信，例如与控制中心3的第二无线通信单元通信，也可以与外部控制设备通信。本实施例中，以浇灌装置51、52、53与外部控制设备通信为例。通信端口通过第一无线通信单元61、62、63与外部控制设备通信连接。即外部控制设备作为通信源，与多个浇灌装置51、52、53通信连接。
一实施例中，外部控制设备包括用户的智能终端8。具体的，智能终端8上载有控制浇灌系统的APP，用户可通过APP界面设置浇灌信息。具体的，用户能够通过控制APP上的按键远程控制某个浇灌装置的阀门打开或关闭。APP上可以呈现与每个浇灌装置51、52、53对应的图示，以及与每个浇灌装置51、52、53相关联的控制键，例如“启动键”和“关闭键”等。用户还可以通过APP排程，设置例如表1所示的工作日历。APP还可以向用户展示各个浇灌装置51、52、53的工作状态和工作参数，例如当日完成的浇灌量等。
进一步的，APP可以为用户提供可视化的虚拟浇灌区域。例如，APP可以内嵌电子地图，例如google地图，用户输入自家花园的位置信息，APP自动定位并显示用户的花园，或者用户可以在地图上手动圈定自家花园。APP中可以提供一些虚拟浇灌装置，用户可以在花园图像上拖动这些虚拟浇灌装置，将其放置在图像上与实际浇灌装置的位置对应的位置，从而模拟浇灌装置的浇灌工作。用户通过观察浇灌装置的工作范围，覆盖的植被种类，判断浇灌装置的设置是否合理。用户还可以在该图像化的地图上为浇灌装置设置各种参数，这样设置更直观，用户体验更好。
进一步的，APP还可以为用户推荐浇灌参数。APP可以获取天气预报信息，提示用户未来一段时间可能发生的天气状况，或根据天气预报信息直接为用户推荐排程，例如，若未来一周多阴雨天气，则建议用户在未来一周取消浇水操作。APP还可以根据阶段性的气候判断植被的浇灌需求，例如在日照时间长、或植被生长快的季节建议增大浇灌频率。或者结合花园位置的经纬度和海拔，判断对植被适宜的浇灌量，输出推荐的浇灌参 数，等等。用户可以选择是否接受APP推荐的浇灌参数，也可以设置默认接受，则浇灌装置51、52、53将直接根据APP推荐的浇灌参数执行浇灌任务。
进一步的，APP还可以为用户提供数据统计服务，统计花园在一年中不同时期的浇灌量，以及提供植被的健康生长状态等。
APP的数据的收集和计算均可以在云端完成，浇灌装置51、52、53的第一无线通信单元61、62、63也可以直接从云端获取数据。
浇灌装置的第一无线通信单元61、62、63通过接入无线通信网络获取上述浇灌信息。具体的，第一无线通信单元61、62、63包括蜂窝网络通信单元、或WIFI通信单元、或蓝牙通信单元、或RF通信单元、或UWB通信单元等。第一无线通信单元61、62、63接入的无线通信网络包括LAN(local area network),MAN(metropolitan area network),WAN(wide area network),WPAN(wireless personal area network)等等。
具体的，本实施例中，各个浇灌装置51、52、53的第一无线通信单元61、62、63相互通信，以构成以第一无线通信单元61、62、63为通信节点的多级传递式通信网络。具体的，无线通信网络包括mesh network。由于不同浇灌区域组成的总区域面积可能较大，无线通信网络的覆盖面积可能是有限的，例如，当利用WIFI网络通信时，WIFI网关设备通常设置在用户住宅中，距离住宅较近的浇灌装置能够较稳定的接入WIFI网络，而距离住宅较远的浇灌装置则可能接收不到WIFI网络，导致浇灌装置无法获取浇灌信息，影响浇灌系统的正常工作。为克服上述问题，本实施例中，各个浇灌装置51、52、53的第一无线通信单元61、62、63能够相互通信，这样，距离住宅较远的浇灌装置可以通过与其相邻的更接近住宅的浇灌装置获取浇灌信息，与其相邻的浇灌装置可以进一步从更接近住宅的相邻浇灌装置获取浇灌信息，以此类推，形成以若干第一无线通信单元为通信节点的多级传递式通信网络，距离住宅最近的浇灌装置将浇灌信息逐级传递至各个其他浇灌装置，从而每一个浇灌装置都可以稳定的获取浇灌信息，保证浇灌系统1的正常工作。
本实施例中，第一无线通信单元61、62、63获取的浇灌信息通过通信端口传输给控制模块，控制模块基于此控制阀门的打开和关闭。由于每个浇灌装置51、52、53包括独立的控制模块和第一无线通信单元61、62、63，因此，每个浇灌装置51、52、53的第一无线通信单元61、62、63可以独立接收浇灌信息，控制模块可以基于第一无线通信单元61、62、63接收的浇灌信息独立控制阀门的打开和关闭，从而实现多个浇灌装置51、52、53的独立控制，使得不同浇灌装置51、52、53能够在不同时间段执行浇灌工作。 通过为浇灌装置51、52、53配置第一无线通信单元61、62、63，利用第一无线通信单元61、62、63与外部控制设备无线通信，使得用户对浇灌系统1的控制简单便捷，且更加智能。
可以理解的是，浇灌装置51、52、53也可以通过第一无线通信单元61、62、63与浇灌系统1的控制中心3通信，由于控制中心3往往设置在用户易于接近的地方，或距离住宅较近的地方，因此用户可以方便、可靠的通过控制中心3来控制浇灌系统1的工作。控制中心3可以成为多级传递式通信网络的节点之一，各个浇灌装置51、52、53和控制中心3通过第一无线通信单元61、62、63和第二无线通信单元实现无线通信连接。
本实施例中，浇灌装置51、52、53处还设置有发电设备，为浇灌装置51、52、53提供工作所需电能。在一具体的实施例中，发电设备包括涡轮，由输送液体驱动以输出电能给浇灌装置51、52、53。具体的，涡轮包括一个转子，转子包括扇叶。涡轮设置在输送管4中，当输送管4中有液体流过时，流体对扇叶施加的力量带动整个转子旋转，转子旋转形成磁场，磁力线切割定子中的线圈，在线圈中感应出电势。涡轮的电能输出线与浇灌装置51、52、53的电源端口连接，向浇灌装置51、52、53供电。在浇灌装置51、52、53处设置涡轮，能够利用输送管中流过的液体发电，解决了浇灌装置51、52、53的供电问题，且起到了能量的有效利用。
一实施例中，所述浇灌系统包括连接于发电设备56的旁路管道55，所述旁路管道55中的液体流经发电设备56用于产生电力。参图7为本发明一实施例的浇灌系统。具体的，发电设备56包括涡轮发电机，当有液体流过时产生电力。具体的，当有液体流过涡轮发电机时，液体冲击发电机的转轮，使其转动，并通过主轴带动发电机转子跟着转动，在发电机转子线圈中通入直流电流，转子线圈就会产生旋转磁场，磁力线在旋转过程中，被定子线圈切割，根据电磁感应原理，定子线圈中就会产生电压，定子线圈接入负载后，定子线圈中产生电流。也就是说，当有液体流过涡轮发电机时，液体流动的能量转化为机械能，发电机的转轴又带动发电机的转子，将机械能转换为电能而输出，使得浇灌装置51、52产生电力，从而能够智能控制阀门57的开启及关闭，智能的控制浇灌系统的工作过程。具体的，每个浇灌装置51、52都设置有发电设备56，使得每个浇灌装置51、52都能被独立供电，若有某一个发电设备56发生故障，也不会影响其他浇灌装置51、52的正常工作。为了使得浇灌装置51、52能够源源不断的获得能量供给，发电设备56可以设置为能够为浇灌装置51、52供给持续的电力，也就是说，在一定的情况下，如果需要使得浇灌装置51、52能够获得持续的能量供给，则发电设备56需要 保持始终有液体流过，以确保其可以产生持续的电力。具体的，浇灌装置51、52包括阀门57、发电设备56、控制模块等部件，控制模块在有电力的情况下能够对阀门57进行开闭控制，以智能控制浇灌工作。具体的，浇灌装置51、52的发电设备56需要有液体流过以产生电力为浇灌装置51、52提供能量，以及阀门57处需要有液体，以供阀门57打开时向工作区域提供液体，当只有一个用于输送液体的管道时，要实现对阀门57和发电设备56两者都同时提供液体，则需要有两个用于向两者输入液体的端口，通过设置旁路管道55，输送管4能够同时向阀门57和发电设备56提供液体，保证在发电设备56能够产生电力的情况下阀门57处也有液体供应。具体的，旁路管道55可以设置于浇灌装置51、52内部，具体的，通过旁路管道55连通发电设备56和阀门57，输送管4的液体流经发电设备56，通过设置旁路管道55，将流经发电设备56的液体增加流向阀门57的路径，使得阀门57有液体供应。在另一实施例中，旁路管道55也可以设置于浇灌装置51、52外部，具体的，旁路管道55的一端连接于发电设备56和阀门57其中之一，使得浇灌装置51、52具有两个液体输入口，一个连接发电设备56，另一个连接阀门57，使得发电设备56和阀门57两者都能得到液体供应。可选择的，浇灌系统中可能具有多个浇灌装置51、52，因而输送管4可能包括多个旁路管道55，多个旁路管道55可能分别为小段式设计。具体的，旁路管道55可以位于浇灌装置51、52内部，也可以位于浇灌装置51、52外部，当旁路管道55位于浇灌装置51、52内部时，浇灌装置51、52可能为封装的结构，输送管4连接浇灌装置51、52后即可以投入工作，浇灌装置51、52内部可以自动实现液体分为两个支流，即一个支流流经发电设备56，另一支流流经阀门57。具体的，旁路管道55可能设置于输送管4一体，也可能不与输送管4设置为一体，当旁路管道55与输送管4设置于一体时，输送管4包括输液层，输送管4还包括旁路管道55，输液层与旁路管道55并行设置于输送管4内部，且输液层和旁路管道55内都通有液体，也就是说，输送管4内部有两股液体流动，一股液体流经发电设备56，用于产生电力，另一股液体流经阀门57，在打开阀门57时向浇灌区域提供液体。当旁路管道55不与输送管4设置为一体时，如前所述，旁路管道55可以位于浇灌装置51、52内部，进一步的可以与浇灌装置51、52封装设计，除此之外，旁路管还可以形成为独立的一根管子，优选的，旁路管可以与输送管4并行设置，分别流经发电设备56和阀门57。在另一实施例中，在一些情况下，若要使得发电设备56能够持续的产生电力，需要使得发电设备56处持续有液体流动，具体的，输送管4为环形管道，输送管4内的液体形成流动的回路，也就是说，输送管4内的液体从液体源头流出，并流回液体源头。具体的， 当输送管4内的液体形成回路时，输送管4内的液体可能因为没有压差而无法流动，优选的，在输送管4的适当位置处增加水泵，例如，在液体源头处增加泵装置，使得输送管4的液体能够源源不断的流动，当液体流经浇灌装置51、52的发电设备56时，发电设备56产生电能，源源不断的液体经发电设备56，可以使得浇灌装置51、52持续的获得能量供给。在该浇灌系统中，用户可根据工作区域的需求使得输送管4内通入水、营养液等液体，当输送管4内通过任何液体时，发电设备56均能够通过液体的流动产生电力，为浇灌装置51、52提供能量供给。通过在浇灌装置51、52上设置发电设备56，每个浇灌装置51、52都能够处于带电状态，在控制模块接收到通信端口的控制信息时，能够响应控制信息有效的开闭阀门57。同时，通过对发电设备56设计液体发电，简化了浇灌系统的硬件设置，不用再设置电力传输的系统，使得智能灌溉系统使用方便且更智能。一实施例中，发电设备56处可提供备用电池。
在另一具体的实施例中，发电设备包括光伏单元，接收光能，并将光能转换为电能，供给浇灌装置51、52、53。浇灌装置51、52、53处设置有太阳能板，将太阳能转换为电能。具体的，太阳能板设置在浇灌装置51、52、53的顶面或包络在浇灌装置的外表面。由于浇灌区域浇灌需求高的时期往往也是光照条件较好的时期，因此太阳能板能够为浇灌装置51、52、53提供较充足的电能。在一实施例中，浇灌装置51、52、53处还设置有电池，用于存储太阳能板转换的电能。当然，在其他实施例中，也可以仅通过为浇灌装置51、52、53设置电池来供电。
在另一具体的实施例中，发电设备包括压电单元。压电单元将流经输送管4的液体产生的压力转换为电能，供给浇灌装置。
可以理解的是，浇灌装置51、52、53的通信方式与供电方式可以任意组合，例如，当浇灌装置51、52、53通过通信线41获取浇灌信息时，也可以同时利用光伏单元发电来供电；当浇灌装置51、52、53通过第一无线通信单元61、62、63获取浇灌信息时，也可以同时利用电源线42来供电，等等。
本发明的另一实施例中，浇灌系统1的结构和方法与上述实施例基本相同，差异在于，外部控制设备包括第三方服务设备，第一无线通信单元61、62、63接收第三方服务设备发送的信息。具体的，用户可以委托第三方对自家的浇灌系统进行管理，具体的，该服务可以由浇灌系统的厂家提供。每个浇灌系统包括一个账户，用户或第三方登录账户后即可对对应的浇灌系统进行管理。用户可授权第三方登录自家浇灌系统的账户。账户中可以记录关于该浇灌系统的若干信息，例如历史浇灌信息，植被信息，位置信息等。 第三方还可以为用户提供一些优化服务，例如定制对植被的特殊护理服务等。浇灌系统账户中的信息可以存储在云端，第一/第二无线通信单元接入无线通信网络后，直接从云端获取浇灌信息。上述方法能够使用户进一步从花园管理的劳务中解脱出来，并为花园管理提供更专业的定制化服务。
本发明的一实施例中，输送管4输送同一种类的液体至不同的浇灌装置，例如输送管4输送水至不同的浇灌装置51、52、53，输送管4连接市政供水设备。
本发明的另一实施例中，输送管4输送不同种类的液体至不同的浇灌装置51、52、53。当输送管4输送不同种类的液体至不同的浇灌装置51、52、53时，不同液体在不同时间段经由输送管4传输至对应浇灌装置，并且浇灌装置51、52、53在对应时间段打开阀门，将对应液体浇灌至浇灌区域。参图1，浇灌源包括多个储液容器21、22、23，分别存储浇灌至浇灌区域A、B、C的液体。当浇灌区域A需要浇灌时，浇灌装置51的阀门打开，同时储液容器21的阀门打开，液体由储液容器21经输送管4传输至浇灌装置51，由浇灌装置51浇灌至浇灌区域A。当浇灌区域B需要浇灌时，浇灌装置52的阀门打开，同时储液容器22的阀门打开，液体由储液容器22经输送管4传输至浇灌装置52，由浇灌装置52浇灌至浇灌区域B。浇灌区域C需要浇灌时的情况类似，不再赘述。当不同浇灌装置51、52、53浇灌的液体种类不同时，浇灌装置51、52、53不同时工作，不同种类的液体分时流过同一段输送管。
本发明实施例中所指的一路输送管，既包括多段输送管连接形成一路输送管的情况，也包括一体成形的输送管的情况。需要指出的是，本发明的实施例中，浇灌装置既可以直接设置在输送管的主干上，也可以通过分支输送管与输送管的主干连接，例如图6所示的情况。这种情况下，液体主要经由输送管的主干流至各个浇灌区域，因此，依然符合本发明想要达到的技术效果，即降低浇灌系统的成本、方便用户安装、且保持浇灌区域的美观。
本发明的实施例中，控制系统/控制器/控制模块可以包括MCU、CPU等，还可以包括存储器、时钟电路等元器件。
本发明的实施例中，浇灌装置可以包括喷洒装置，也可以包括滴灌装置等其他形式的液体输出装置。

本发明还涉及一种输送管，用于从浇灌源输送液体至浇灌区域，具体结构参上述实 施例，不再赘述。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本发明的几种实施方式，其描述较为具体和详细，但并不能因此而理解为对本发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是，对于本领域的普通技术人员来说，在不脱离本发明构思的前提下，还可以做出若干变形和改进，这些都属于本发明的保护范围。因此，本发明专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
