Implementation and Application of a DC Automatic Irrigation System for Orchards
Leveraging advanced technologies such as photovoltaics and computers,an automated energy-saving sprinkling irrigation system was designed.This system was characterized by independence on mains supply,unattended operation,distributed control,high efficiency,and absolute production safety.The system realized the independent power supply of each workstation through photovoltaics and achieved distributed control of mechanical and electrical equipment by the programming of the wireless sensor network node in the workstation,ensuring the low cost and flexibility of the system layout.The whole system used DC equipment,which saved energy and ensured human safety during working through reasonable circuit design.In addition,the system adopted hydraulic rams and overflow pipes to decouple the water storage end and the water supply end of the irrigation system,which not only reduced the construction and operation costs but also simplified the logic of the system to achieve automatic control,reducing the burden of the developer.
