Patent Title: A Buried Micro-Porous Ceramic Seepage Irrigation Emitter
Technical Field
1. The utility model relates to the field of irrigation, specifically a buried micro-porous ceramic seepage irrigation emitter.
Background Art
2. An irrigation emitter utilizes a pressurized system to deliver water and nutrients required for crop growth directly and uniformly to the soil surface or soil layer at the root zone of plants or crops through a water distribution pipeline system. This maintains the soil at the root zone in an optimal state of moisture, fertility, and aeration.
3. Existing irrigation emitters often suffer from the following drawbacks: conventional emitters typically use seepage pipes, which are prone to clogging due to their micro-pores. As the micro-pores in seepage pipes are relatively large, long-term use leads to blockage by fine soil particles and microorganisms. Additionally, the construction cost of existing emitters is high, as seepage pipes require trenching and burial, resulting in high labor costs and complex installation. If a section of the seepage pipe fails, the specific location cannot be easily identified, necessitating complete rework, which has significant adverse effects. Oversaturation of soil moisture can lead to mud formation, acid-base imbalance, soil compaction, and deep water leakage, causing wastage. To address these issues, a buried micro-porous ceramic seepage irrigation emitter is provided.
Utility Model Content
4. The objective of the utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technology by providing a buried micro-porous ceramic seepage irrigation emitter that solves the problems mentioned in the background above.
5.To achieve this objective, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A buried micro-porous ceramic seepage irrigation emitter comprises a ceramic seepage pipe and a connector. The bottom of the connector is equipped with a threaded sleeve. The ceramic seepage pipe is provided with multiple seepage holes. The top of the ceramic seepage pipe is equipped with a threaded head, which is sleeved with a sealing gasket. One side of the connector is connected to a water inlet pipe. The interior of the connector is equipped with a regulating valve installed in a flow channel. The regulating valve contains a valve core with water flow holes. One end of the valve core is connected to a water pressure adjustment knob.
6. As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the ceramic seepage pipe and the connector are connected via threads.
7. As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the connector is connected to the main water pipeline via the water inlet pipe.
8. As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the ceramic seepage pipe and the connector are sealed together via the sealing gasket.
9. As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the aperture of the seepage holes is less than 10 micrometers.
10. Advantageous Effects: The aperture and porosity of the ceramic in this emitter are adjustable. The aperture of the ceramic seepage pipe can be controlled to below 10 micrometers. The ceramic offers high strength, resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, and a long reusable lifespan. The emitter operates based on the water potential difference inside and outside the emitter, enabling control of moisture content and reducing adverse effects. Installation is convenient, and upgrades are easy, allowing for integration with fertigation and smart systems.

Detailed Implementation
15. The following provides a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the utility model to make its advantages and features more easily understandable to those skilled in the art. The scope of protection of the utility model is thereby more clearly and precisely defined.
16. Embodiment: Referring to Figs. 1-3, the utility model provides a technical solution: A buried micro-porous ceramic seepage irrigation emitter comprises a ceramic seepage pipe 1 and a connector 2. The bottom of the connector 2 is equipped with a threaded sleeve 8. The ceramic seepage pipe 1 is provided with multiple seepage holes 4. The top of the ceramic seepage pipe 1 is equipped with a threaded head 6, which is sleeved with a sealing gasket 7. One side of the connector 2 is connected to a water inlet pipe 3. The interior of the connector 2 is equipped with a regulating valve installed in a flow channel 9. The regulating valve contains a valve core 10 with water flow holes 11. One end of the valve core 10 is connected to a water pressure adjustment knob 5.
17.The ceramic seepage pipe 1 and the connector 2 are connected via threads, making assembly and disassembly simple and facilitating later maintenance and replacement.
18. The connector 2 is connected to the main water pipeline via the water inlet pipe 3. The distance between emitters can be customized by adjusting the length of the water inlet pipe 3.
19. The ceramic seepage pipe 1 and the connector 2 are sealed together via the sealing gasket 7, ensuring easy disassembly and replacement with strong sealing performance to prevent leakage.
20. The aperture of the seepage holes 4 is less than 10 micrometers, preventing clogging.
21. Operation Principle: When in use, the ceramic seepage pipe 1 is directly inserted into the soil. The water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the main water pipeline. Water from the main pipeline enters the connector 2 via the water inlet pipe 3 and then flows into the ceramic seepage pipe 1. Driven by the water potential difference inside and outside the emitter, water seeps out through the seepage holes 4 on the ceramic seepage pipe 1, permeating the plant root zone for irrigation. The ceramic material of the seepage pipe ensures a long service life, and the seepage holes 4, with apertures below 10 micrometers, prevent clogging, ensuring effective operation. Installation is simple and convenient. To adjust the seepage rate, the water pressure adjustment knob 5 is rotated, turning the valve core 10. The size of the water flow holes 11 on the valve core 10 is reduced accordingly, regulating the water flow into the ceramic seepage pipe 1 and thus adjusting the seepage rate.
22. The aperture of the ceramic seepage pipe in this emitter can be controlled to below 10 micrometers. The ceramic offers high strength, resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, and a long reusable lifespan. The emitter operates based on the water potential difference inside and outside the emitter, enabling control of moisture content and reducing adverse effects. Installation is convenient, and upgrades are easy, allowing for integration with fertigation and smart systems.
23. The above embodiments merely represent several implementations of the utility model. The descriptions are specific and detailed but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those of ordinary skill in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
