Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to agricultural irrigation systems, specifically an automated eye drop irrigation system integrating silicon sensor technology. The invention aims to enhance water efficiency and crop health through sensor-driven monitoring and precise water application, catering to the needs of modern sustainable agriculture.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Traditional irrigation methods are often inefficient and lead to substantial water wastage due to factors like improper timing, overwatering, and lack of precision. Conventional drip irrigation systems, while more efficient than flood irrigation, still lack real-time control based on specific soil and plant needs. These systems depend on fixed schedules, which do not adjust to environmental changes, such as shifts in temperature, humidity, and soil moisture levels. Additionally, conventional irrigation materials degrade under prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays and high temperatures, resulting in frequent replacements and maintenance costs.
With growing concerns about water scarcity and the demand for sustainable agricultural practices, the need for precision irrigation solutions has increased. Precision agriculture emphasizes the use of technology to manage farm resources more accurately and sustainably. In recent years, advancements in sensor technology have provided promising solutions for real-time monitoring and automated control. However, existing systems often fail to integrate sensors effectively for dynamic, data-driven water management.
This invention presents a silicon sensor-based eye drop irrigation system designed to address the limitations of traditional irrigation methods. The system integrates silicon-based sensors with a flexible, UV-resistant white silicone piping to provide precision water delivery. Real-time monitoring of environmental, plant, and soil conditions enables automated irrigation adjustments, enhancing water efficiency and crop yield. This solution minimizes manual intervention, reduces water waste, and promotes sustainable agriculture practices.

The Silicon Sensor Eye Drop Irrigation System is a comprehensive irrigation solution that incorporates a series of sensors to deliver precise, targeted water applications. The primary components include silicon-based proximity and moisture sensors, a micro-pump, white silicone tubing, and an AI-driven control system. The system is designed to automate water delivery by monitoring real-time environmental data and adjusting irrigation levels based on soil and plant needs.
The core of the system is the silicon sensor array, which detects soil moisture, proximity, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. The silicon sensors are arranged in an array to ensure accurate readings across the entire irrigation field. Moisture sensors measure the soil's dryness level, triggering irrigation only when the soil requires water. This selective irrigation approach prevents overwatering, optimizing water usage and enhancing crop health. The sensors are also highly sensitive to environmental changes, allowing the system to respond dynamically to fluctuating conditions, such as sudden increases in temperature or changes in humidity.
A micro-pump mechanism connected to a sterile water reservoir draws water and dispenses it in precisely measured amounts. The system allows flow rate adjustments depending on the condition of the soil, thereby offering the flexibility to deliver small or large water volumes as needed. The white silicone tubing used in the system is UV-resistant, lightweight, and durable. This material selection extends the system's longevity by preventing degradation from exposure to high UV levels or fluctuating temperatures, making it ideal for agricultural settings with intense sunlight.
To ensure precision in water delivery, the system includes an AI-powered interface that learns from past irrigation patterns and adjusts future schedules to align with real-time soil conditions. The user-friendly interface enables remote control and customization through a smartphone or tablet app, allowing farmers to set specific irrigation schedules and track system performance remotely. Additionally, the system's data analysis capabilities help farmers make informed decisions by providing insights into soil moisture trends, plant needs, and overall water usage efficiency.
The self-cleaning mechanism within the system ensures that the dispensing nozzles remain free of blockages, maintaining a consistent water flow rate. By using sterilized air or UV light, the nozzle is sanitized after each use, promoting hygiene and reducing the risk of contamination. This feature is particularly useful in areas where water quality is a concern, ensuring that crops receive clean, safe irrigation.
