Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sprinkler irrigation technology, specifically to a self-propelled reel sprinkler irrigation machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sprinkler irrigation is an irrigation method that uses mechanical and power equipment to project water into the air through sprinklers (or nozzles), allowing it to fall as raindrops onto the fields. Sprinkler irrigation equipment consists of an inlet pipe, pump, delivery pipe, distribution pipe, and sprinklers (or nozzles), and can be fixed, semi-fixed, or mobile. It offers advantages such as water conservation, preservation of soil structure, regulation of surface climate, and freedom from terrain limitations.

[0003] In humid climates, once a sprinkler is in the field, its tires become covered in mud, making it very difficult for them to turn. To solve this problem, most users resort to methods that only address the symptoms, such as increasing the sprinkler's horsepower to prevent it from getting stuck in the mud. However, even with these measures, the sprinkler often gets stuck in the mud, forcing irrigation operations to be suspended. This increases energy consumption and reduces irrigation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] A self-propelled reel sprinkler includes a towing module, an irrigation module, and a sludge scraping module. The towing module includes an arc-shaped plate, two fixed plates movably embedded inside the arc-shaped plate, a belt movably sleeved on the outside of the fixed plates, a support plate connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate, a dual-shaft motor connected to the top of the support plate, two external gears connected to the output shaft of the dual-shaft motor, multiple slots on the belt, and a pressure cover sleeved on the outside of the dual-shaft motor. The external gears mesh with the belt through the slots, and the pressure cover is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate. The irrigation module includes a fastening plate movably fastened to the arc-shaped plate, a frame connected to the outer end of the fastening plate, a reel movably mounted on the top of the frame, and a sludge scraping module. The sludge scraping module includes two connected scrapers and an elastic metal rod connected to one end of the scrapers. It also includes two brackets mounted on the top of the pressure cover, a cross rotating plate movably connected to the two brackets, two transmission gears sleeved on the outside of the cross rotating plate, an internal gear meshing with the inside of the transmission gears and connected to the output shaft of the dual-axis motor, a bidirectional electric push rod connected to the top of the pressure cover, two connecting plates connected to the movable end of the bidirectional electric push rod, a reciprocating screw movably passing through the connecting plates and inserted into the cross rotating plate, a vertical plate connected to the top of the support plate, a bearing seat sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw and slidably connected to the vertical plate, and a push plate connected to the bearing seat. The outer wall of the push plate is in contact with the outer wall of the belt.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal gear on the dual-shaft motor affects the rotation of the transmission gear and the cross plate. When mud appears on the belt surface and between the belt and the fixed plate, the worker activates the bidirectional electric push rod. The bidirectional electric push rod then connects the reciprocating screw to the cross plate via the connecting plate. The reciprocating screw then rotates with the cross plate, causing the bearing seat to move back and forth. The push plate connected to the bearing seat scrapes away the mud from the belt surface and between the belt and the fixed plate, making the arc plate move more smoothly and reducing the resistance it bears during translation. This effectively prevents the frame from sinking into the soil, reduces energy consumption, and improves irrigation efficiency.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two rectangular openings are formed on the arc-shaped plate, and the two rectangular openings are vertically symmetrical about the support plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that two solid plates are located inside two rectangular openings, the solid plates being O-shaped and having a thickness greater than the thickness of the rectangular openings.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the frame consists of a cross plate and two wheels, the two wheels are movably mounted on both sides of the cross plate, and the bottom of the wheels is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the arc plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the wheel is composed of a hub and a tire, the tire is detachably fitted onto the outside of the hub, the outer end of the scraper is in contact with the outer wall of the tire, and the outer wall of the elastic metal rod is in contact with the inner wall of the hub.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two transmission gears are located on the outer sides of two supports respectively, and the support plate has a notch suitable for the sliding of the transmission gears.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that the vertical plate is T-shaped and a groove suitable for sliding of the bearing seat is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that the push plate is disposed between the reciprocating lead screw and the vertical plate, and the push plate is made of plastic material.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this invention, the internal gear on the dual-shaft motor affects the rotation of the transmission gear and the cross plate. When mud appears on the outer surface of the belt and between the belt and the fixed plate, the operator activates the bidirectional electric push rod. The bidirectional electric push rod then connects the reciprocating screw to the cross plate via the connecting plate. The reciprocating screw then rotates with the cross plate, causing the bearing seat to move back and forth. The push plate connected to the bearing seat scrapes away the mud from the outer surface of the belt and between the belt and the fixed plate, making the arc plate move more smoothly and reducing the resistance it bears during translation. This effectively prevents the frame from sinking into the soil, reduces energy consumption, and improves irrigation efficiency.

[0017] 2. In this invention, the frame carries the reel into the irrigation area. During this process, the mud layer on the outer surface of the wheel in the frame is scraped off by the scraper every time it rotates. Then the mud layer on the inner side of the wheel hub is also peeled off by the elastic metal rod, making the frame move more smoothly and improving the comfort of use.

[0018] 3. In this invention, a dual-shaft motor drives a slotted belt to rotate via an external gear. The belt then contacts the soil, causing the arc-shaped plate to move indirectly. The vehicle frame then carries the reel into the irrigation area. The structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0031] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0032] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a self-propelled reel sprinkler irrigation machine provided by the present invention.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Combination Figures 1-7As shown, the present invention provides a self-propelled reel sprinkler irrigation machine, including a towing module 100, an irrigation module 200, and a sludge scraping module 300. The towing module 100 includes an arc-shaped plate 110, two fixed plates 120 movably embedded inside the arc-shaped plate 110, a belt 130 movably sleeved on the outside of the fixed plates 120, a support plate 140 connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate 110, a dual-axis motor 150 connected to the top of the support plate 140, two external gears 160 connected to the output shaft of the dual-axis motor 150, a plurality of slots 170 opened on the belt 130, and a pressure cover 180 sleeved on the outside of the dual-axis motor 150. The external gears 160 mesh with the belt 130 through the slots 170, and the pressure cover 180 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate 110.

[0035] The irrigation module 200 includes a fastening plate 210 that is movably fastened to the arc plate 110, a frame 220 connected to the outer end of the fastening plate 210, a reel 230 movably mounted on the top of the frame 220, two scrapers 240 that are movably connected to the arc plate 110, and an elastic metal rod 250 connected to one end of the scraper 240.

[0036] The sludge scraping module 300 includes two brackets 310 mounted on the top of the pressure cover 180, a cross rotating plate 320 movably connected to the two brackets 310, two transmission gears 330 sleeved on the outside of the cross rotating plate 320, an internal gear 340 meshing with the inside of the transmission gears 330 and connected to the output shaft of the dual-axis motor 150, a bidirectional electric push rod 350 connected to the top of the pressure cover 180, two connecting plates 360 connected to the movable end of the bidirectional electric push rod 350, a reciprocating screw 370 movably passing through the connecting plate 360 ​​and inserted into the cross rotating plate 320, a vertical plate 380 connected to the top of the support plate 140, a bearing seat 390 sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw 370 and slidably connected to the vertical plate 380, and a push plate 391 connected to the bearing seat 390, the outer wall of the push plate 391 being in contact with the outer wall of the belt 130.

[0037] Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate 110 has two rectangular openings, which are vertically symmetrical about the support plate 140. The rectangular openings ensure that the belt 130 can rotate smoothly and provide conditions for the arc-shaped plate 110 to move smoothly.

[0038] Furthermore, the two fixed plates 120 are located inside the two rectangular openings respectively. The fixed plates 120 are set in an O-shape and have a thickness greater than that of the rectangular openings. This size design can reduce the contact area between the curved plate 110 and the soil, making the curved plate 110 move more smoothly.

[0039] Furthermore, the frame 220 consists of a cross plate and two wheels, which are movably mounted on both sides of the cross plate. The bottom of the wheels is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the arc plate 110. With this layout design, the frame 220 moves more smoothly.

[0040] Furthermore, the wheel consists of a hub and a tire. The tire is detachably fitted onto the outside of the hub. The outer end of the scraper 240 is in contact with the outer wall of the tire, and the outer wall of the elastic metal rod 250 is in contact with the inner wall of the hub. With this layout design, the scraper 240 and the elastic metal rod 250 can completely peel off the soil layer that adheres to the frame 220 when it moves, which greatly reduces the resistance that the frame 220 bears when it moves.

[0041] Furthermore, the two transmission gears 330 are located on the outer sides of the two brackets 310 respectively. The support plate 140 is provided with a notch suitable for the sliding of the transmission gears 330. The notch reduces the material used in the production of the support plate 140 and lowers the manufacturing cost of the support plate 140. On the other hand, it allows the transmission gears 330 to rotate flexibly.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the vertical plate 380 is configured as a T-shape, and a groove suitable for the sliding of the bearing seat 390 is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate 380. The groove provides conditions for limiting and guiding the bearing seat 390.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] Combination Figure 1 , 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in the above embodiment, the push plate 391 is disposed between the reciprocating screw 370 and the vertical plate 380. The push plate 391 is made of plastic material. When the plastic push plate 391 scrapes the dirt off the outer surface of the belt 130 and between the belt 130 and the fixed plate 120, it will not tear the belt 130 and the fixed plate 120.

[0046] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: After confirming the connection between the arc-shaped plate 110 and the fastening plate 210, the user sits on the arc-shaped plate 110 and then starts the dual-axis motor 150. The dual-axis motor 150 rotates the belt 130 with slots 170 through the external gear 160 (during this period, the internal gear 340 on the dual-axis motor 150 affects the rotation of the transmission gear 330, and then the transmission gear 330 rotates the cross plate 320). Then the belt 130 comes into contact with the soil, causing the arc-shaped plate 110 to move indirectly. Then the frame 220 carries the reel 230 into the irrigation area. During this process, with each rotation of the wheels in the frame 220, the mud layer on the outer surface of the wheels is scraped off by the scraper 240, and then the mud layer on the inner side of the wheel hub is removed. The elastic metal rod 250 will also peel off, making the frame 220 move more smoothly and reducing the load on the dual-axis motor 150. Then, when dirt appears on the surface of the belt 130 or between the belt 130 and the fixed plate 120, the operator starts the bidirectional electric push rod 350. Then, the bidirectional electric push rod 350 connects the reciprocating screw 370 and the cross plate 320 through the connecting plate 360. Then, the reciprocating screw 370 rotates with the cross plate 320. Then, under mechanical transmission, the reciprocating screw 370 causes the bearing seat 390 to move back and forth along the slide groove. Then, the push plate 391 connected to the bearing seat 391 scrapes away the dirt on the surface of the belt 130 and between the belt 130 and the fixed plate 120, making the arc plate 110 move more smoothly.

[0047] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
