In recent years, the concept of smart agriculture has taken agricultural productivity to new heights, increasing production capacity while expanding land utilisation. Slip rings are widely used as important components in agricultural production equipment, especially in irrigation systems, demonstrating their great potential to improve efficiency, reliability and sustainability. Slip rings used in agricultural equipment mainly include electrical collector rings and electrical signal integrated collector rings. These slip rings are widely used in various types of agricultural automation equipment such as irrigation machinery, tillage machinery, harvesting machinery, etc.
As a veteran slip ring manufacturer in China, Jingpei has rich experience in the development of conductive slip rings for various industries. JINPAT has the ability to develop and produce various kinds of slip rings for agricultural equipments in the market. Through precision parts processing, excellent structural design and mature technology application, JINPAT Slip Rings have reached the international leading level in signal transmission, high and low temperature impact resistance control. In order to adapt to the use of agricultural machinery in harsh outdoor environments, JINPAT has improved the protection level of these slip rings to ensure the normal operation of the equipment under various conditions. In addition to general-purpose slip rings, JINPAT has also designed a variety of integrated slip rings, such as signal-power combination slip rings, which are used in highly-automated agricultural equipment, such as fully-automated farm picking robots. These slip rings are capable of transmitting power and data signals at the same time, supporting remote monitoring and control, achieving precise control and automated management, and improving the efficiency of agricultural production and resource utilisation.
Take JINPAT LPT012-0214-0605-02S slip ring as an example, it can be used in agricultural harvesting machinery, with the protection level up to IP68, and a variety of connector types to choose from, and it can still work stably under high temperature and extreme cold environment. In addition, in order to meet the needs of different agricultural machinery, JINPAT can also be customised according to the different agricultural machinery. For example, the slip ring in Centre Pivot Irrigation System (CPIS) enables the irrigation pipes to rotate around a central axis while transmitting power and data signals as well as fluid media, ensuring the smooth operation of the irrigation system throughout the entire rotation process, and simplifying the piping layout of the irrigation system. The slip ring can also be integrated with a wireless sensor network to monitor key parameters such as soil moisture, air temperature, rainfall, etc. and transmit this data to a central control system. Based on real-time data, the irrigation system is able to irrigate on demand, avoiding over- or under-irrigation, thus saving water and increasing crop yields. In addition, the slip ring also enables remote control of irrigation equipment (e.g. valves, pumping stations, etc.), which makes the irrigation process more automated and intelligent and saves labour costs.
The application of JINPAT slip ring in intelligent agricultural irrigation system not only improves the irrigation efficiency and automation level, but also promotes the rational use of resources and environmental protection. With the continuous progress of technology, JINPAT Slip Rings will be more widely used in the field of agriculture in the future, contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture.
