[0039] ReferenceFigures 1-6 As shown, the gantry-type track irrigation device of this utility model includes:
[0040] Two sets of tracks 1 that curve with the terrain, each track 1 having an I-shaped structure and supported by multiple sets of columns 2;
[0041] The traveling device 3, which is movably mounted on the track 1, includes:
[0042] A traveling trolley 31; a first drive mechanism 32 installed on the traveling trolley 31, the first drive mechanism 32 being driven by a first gear 321 meshing with a first rack 11 on the track 1, the first gear 321 being driven by a first motor 322;
[0043] An adjustable crossbeam system 4 connected to the two sets of traveling devices 3 includes: a universal rotating assembly 41 rotatably connected to the traveling device 3, the universal rotating assembly 41 being connected to the traveling trolley 31 via a thrust bearing 411; a U-shaped mounting bracket 42 disposed on the universal rotating assembly 41; and a horizontally movable crossbeam 43 disposed between the U-shaped mounting brackets 42, the two ends of the crossbeam 43 being connected to the U-shaped mounting brackets 42 via a driving device 44 and a driven device 45, respectively.
[0044] A water spray mechanism 5 is movably mounted on the horizontal plate 43;
[0045] The control box 6 is used to control the traveling device 3, the adjustable crossbeam system 4, and the water spray mechanism 5.
[0046] When using this irrigation device, firstly, multiple sets of columns are used to support and fix the track at a suitable location in the farmland. The installation height is designed to facilitate large-scale mechanized operations and the flexible movement of the traveling trolley, ensuring that the sprinkler mechanism can irrigate the edges of the field. Then, all other components are installed and the equipment is debugged. A control box is installed on the irrigation device. After the entire travel route is planned and input, the control box automatically controls the operation of the traveling device and the sprinkler mechanism. The sprinkler mechanism can travel and irrigate according to the planned route. The specific operation is as follows: the first motor drives the first gear to rotate, and the first gear moves on the track through the first rack meshing with it, thereby driving the traveling trolley to move. When it has moved a certain distance, the first motor is turned off, and the traveling trolley continues to move. During the movement of the vehicle, the drive unit is activated, moving the horizontal plate to adapt to the width of the farmland. Finally, the water spraying mechanism is activated, causing it to spray water while moving on the horizontal plate for irrigation. Due to the irregular shape of the farmland, a universal rotating assembly is used to adjust the displacement difference between the two traveling trolleys and the height difference between the two ends of the farmland. The horizontal plate can move horizontally and along the track, while also rotating vertically and horizontally, resulting in more comprehensive irrigation coverage. The thrust bearing can withstand the axial load, ensuring that the axial force does not directly act on other components, extending the service life of other components. Using an irrigation device with the above structure, uniform irrigation can be achieved in complex terrain, improving irrigation efficiency.
[0047] Specifically, the traveling device 3 also includes V-shaped wheel sets 33 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the traveling trolley 31, the V-shaped wheel sets 33 forming a clamping and guiding structure with the flange of the track 1; and multiple pulleys 34 provided at the bottom of the traveling trolley 31, the pulleys 34 contacting the top surface of the track 1;
[0048] The guide structure, which combines an I-shaped track with V-shaped wheel sets, can operate stably in winding and undulating mountainous terrain and effectively adapt to the irregular shape of farmland. Multiple sets of pulleys contact the track surface, distributing gear load and reducing friction, thus extending the service life of the equipment. Symmetrical V-shaped wheel sets clamp the edge of the track to prevent the traveling trolley from sliding laterally and ensure safe operation.
[0049] Specifically, the universal rotating assembly 41 includes a rotating rod 412 and a fixed rod 413 fixed thereon, and the fixed rod 413 is connected to the U-shaped mounting bracket 42 through a bearing 414.
[0050] The universal rotating component allows the horizontal plate to rotate in both the horizontal and vertical directions, enabling the irrigation device to adjust its angle according to changes in terrain and improve irrigation uniformity.
[0051] Specifically, the driving device 44 includes:
[0052] Fixing plate 441 fixed to the U-shaped mounting bracket 42;
[0053] The second motor 442 and the second gear 443 are mounted on the fixed plate 441;
[0054] A second rack 444 meshes with the second gear 443, and the second rack 444 is fixedly connected to the cross plate 43;
[0055] The load-bearing wheel assembly 445 and the guide V-shaped wheel 446 are provided on the fixed plate 441.
[0056] Specifically, the driven device 45 has the same structure as the driving device 44, but it does not have a second motor 442.
[0057] The second motor starts, driving the second gear to rotate, which in turn causes the second rack to move the cross plate. The cross plate moves horizontally through the drive and driven devices, adapting to farmland of varying widths. The load-bearing roller assembly distributes the pressure from the cross plate onto the second gear, reducing wear and extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0058] Specifically, the horizontal plate 43 is provided with limiting plates 431 at both ends.
[0059] Limiting plates at both ends of the horizontal plate prevent it from detaching from the driving or driven device, reducing the probability of accidents.
[0060] Specifically, the water spraying mechanism 5 includes a second drive mechanism 51 that cooperates with the horizontal plate 43, an arc-shaped fastener 52 for fixing the water spray gun, and a water spraying trolley 53; the second drive mechanism 51 includes a third motor 511, a third gear 512, a third rack 515 disposed on the horizontal plate 43 and meshing with the third gear 512, a pulley group 513, and a guide wheel group 514.
[0061] Specifically, the water spraying mechanism 5 also includes a plurality of rollers 516 equidistantly arranged on the outer side of one of the tracks 1, a curved pipe 517 fixed on the traveling trolley 31, a plurality of supporting rollers 518 equidistantly arranged on one side of the cross plate 43, and a one-way chain groove 519 arranged on the plurality of supporting rollers 518.
[0062] When irrigation is needed, the water gun is first secured using curved fasteners. The water gun is used for irrigation. The third motor is then activated, driving the third gear to rotate, which in turn moves the device across the horizontal plate for even irrigation. Multiple rollers are evenly spaced on the outer side of the track. The water pipe is placed on the rollers, then passes through a curved pipe on the traveling trolley and is fixed to multiple sections of a one-way chain trough. One end of the one-way chain trough is fixed to the water spray trolley, and the water outlet is connected to the water gun on the trolley. Multiple support wheels support the one-way chain trough, which is existing equipment and readily available on the market. Figure 6As shown, when the water spray cart moves towards the rollers, multiple sections at one end of the one-way chain trough rotate counterclockwise. When the water spray cart moves away from the rollers, these sections continue to rotate counterclockwise until the cart returns to a horizontal position, at which point they stop rotating, preventing the one-way chain trough from sagging under gravity. The multiple rollers and the one-way chain trough support the water pipe, preventing friction between the pipe and the ground and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, because the rollers and the one-way chain trough bear part of the pipe's weight, the pulling force on the water spray cart is reduced, requiring less power and saving energy.
[0063] In summary, this utility model, through structural innovation, solves the problems of poor adaptability and uneven irrigation of traditional irrigation equipment, and is suitable for irrigation operations in complex terrain.
