Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sprinkler irrigation equipment, and in particular to a pipe-driven elevated sprinkler irrigation machine. Background Technology
[0002] A sprinkler irrigation machine is an irrigation device used in farmland or orchards. It typically uses a winch, which is placed at the edge of the field. The water pipe is retrieved by the winch, which pulls the sprinkler irrigation equipment and allows it to move across the field at a certain speed. At the same time, the sprinkler irrigation equipment is equipped with folding arms on both sides, on which water pipes and sprinkler heads are fixed, allowing for irrigation of a wide range of crops.
[0003] However, this type of sprinkler irrigation machine requires a pulling device (such as a tractor) to move it to another field before use, and the water supply pipe must be pulled out and connected to the sprinkler equipment. This process often damages crops in the field. In addition, after each irrigation, the above steps need to be repeated, which makes using the sprinkler irrigation machine difficult and causes more damage to crops. Therefore, a sprinkler irrigation machine that can avoid these problems is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a pipe-driven elevated sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a towed overhead sprinkler irrigation machine, which is connected to a water supply pipe and a winch. The winch is fixed, and the water supply pipe is wound around the winch and connected to a water source. The sprinkler irrigation machine also includes a frame and a sprinkler frame. The sprinkler frame is installed on both sides of the frame. The water supply pipe extends from the rear of the frame to the front. A water delivery pipe is installed in the middle of the frame, with its bottom connected to the water supply pipe and its middle connected to the sprinkler frame. Several wheels are provided at the bottom of the frame. The wheels at the bottom of the frame allow the sprinkler irrigation machine to move along the gaps between the crop rows. The bottom of the water delivery pipe is connected to the water supply pipe, allowing the water supply pipe to be dragged along for pipe laying. After the pipe laying is completed, the winch retracts the water supply pipe, pulling the sprinkler irrigation machine along with the retracted water supply pipe, while simultaneously irrigating the crops.
[0006] Preferably, the frame includes two opposing triangular support frames and several horizontally arranged crossbeams; several through holes are evenly arranged at both ends of the crossbeams along their length; the crossbeams are connected to the sides of the triangular support frames by bolts; the overall width of the frame can be adjusted according to the row spacing of the crops, thus having better adaptability.
[0007] A wheel frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the triangular support frame, and the traveling wheels are rotatably mounted on both sides of the wheel frame. A drive motor and a reducer are fixedly installed in the middle of the wheel frame, and the reducer drives the traveling wheels through a chain and sprocket. By driving the traveling wheels on both sides simultaneously with the chain, it can be ensured that the front and rear traveling wheels rotate at the same time, so that slippage will not occur.
[0008] Furthermore, two crossbeams are provided on each side; the water supply pipe is vertically inclined and fixed to the middle of the two crossbeams on the front side of the frame. The water supply pipe is installed on the crossbeams, which can fix the water supply pipe in place and improve the overall stability of the sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0009] Furthermore, a telescopic rod is vertically installed in the middle of the crossbeam on the rear side of the frame, and a pressure roller is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod. The pressure roller abuts against the outer surface of the water supply pipe. The pressure roller and the telescopic rod are used to press the water supply pipe to the ground to prevent the water supply pipe from swinging during the pipe-dragging process, which would affect the crops on both sides.
[0010] The middle part of the telescopic rod is fixed to the outer wall of the water pipe by a cross brace beam.
[0011] Furthermore, the water pipe is fixed to the crossbeam by several U-shaped clips, which further improves the stability of the water pipe.
[0012] Preferably, water supply connectors are provided on both sides of the middle section of the water supply pipe, and the water supply connectors are connected to the two sprinkler frames respectively through water supply hoses. The connection of the two water supply connectors to the sprinkler frames through water supply hoses can ensure that the water volume in the two sprinkler frames is equal, and facilitates the installation, disassembly and adjustment of the sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0013] Furthermore, a T-shaped conduit is provided in the middle of the water supply pipe, which is horizontally positioned towards the front of the machine frame. The T-shaped conduit includes a horizontal pipe and a connecting pipe. The middle of the horizontal pipe is connected to the end of the connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water supply pipe. Both ends of the horizontal pipe are sealed, and several nozzles are evenly arranged on the horizontal pipe, with the nozzles facing the ground. The T-shaped conduit and connector can irrigate the crops on the front side of the machine frame.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the water supply pipe is provided with a pipe-dragging joint; the pipe-dragging joint is connected to the bottom of the water supply pipe, and the pipe-dragging joint is zigzag-shaped and points towards the rear of the frame; the pipe-dragging joint is connected to the water supply pipe through a water supply hose. The connection between the water supply pipe and the water supply pipe via the pipe-dragging joint and water supply hose makes the water supply pipe route smoother, avoids bending of the water supply pipe during its movement, and extends the service life of the water supply pipe.
[0015] Preferably, a spray nozzle is connected to the top of the water supply pipe, and the spray nozzle points towards the rear of the sprinkler machine. The spray nozzle can spray water towards the rear of the sprinkler machine to irrigate the crops in the middle of the rear of the machine frame, avoiding the phenomenon that the crops at the rear cannot be irrigated.
[0016] Preferably, the water supply pipe is a square pipe. The square shape of the water supply pipe allows for better fit and fixation with the frame and crossbeams, ensuring the overall stability of the sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0017] Preferably, the sprinkler frame includes a fixed support frame, a sprinkler pipe, and a plurality of nozzles disposed below the sprinkler pipe; the plurality of nozzles are evenly arranged and connected along the axis of the sprinkler pipe.

[0033] Example 1: See Figure 1-10 A type of overhead sprinkler irrigation machine with a trailing pipe is provided. The sprinkler irrigation machine is connected to a water supply pipe 00 and a winch. The winch is fixed, and the water supply pipe 00 is wound around the winch and connected to a water source. The sprinkler irrigation machine also includes a frame 01 and a sprinkler frame 2. The sprinkler frame 2 is installed on both sides of the frame 01. The water supply pipe 00 extends from the rear of the frame 01 to the front. A water delivery pipe 3 is installed in the middle of the frame 01. The bottom of the water delivery pipe 3 is connected to the water supply pipe 00, and the middle of the water delivery pipe 3 is connected to the sprinkler frame 2. Several wheels 131 are provided at the bottom of the frame 01. The bottom of the frame 01 is equipped with wheels 131, which enable the sprinkler to move along the gaps in the crops. The bottom of the water pipe 3 is connected to the water supply pipe 00, which can be dragged to move the water supply pipe 00 for pipe laying. After the pipe laying is completed, the winch retracts the water supply pipe 00, pulling the sprinkler to move along with the water supply pipe 00, and watering the crops while moving.
[0034] The frame 01 includes two opposing triangular support frames 11 and several horizontally arranged crossbeams 12; several through holes are evenly arranged at both ends of the crossbeams 12 along the length of the crossbeams 12; the crossbeams 12 are connected to the sides of the triangular support frames 11 by bolts; the overall width of the frame 01 can be adjusted according to the row spacing of the crops, and has better adaptability.
[0035] A wheel frame 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the triangular support frame 11, and the traveling wheels 131 are rotatably installed on both sides of the wheel frame 13. A drive motor 133 and a reducer 132 are fixedly installed in the middle of the wheel frame 13. The reducer 132 drives the traveling wheels 131 through a chain and sprocket. By driving the traveling wheels 131 on both sides simultaneously through the chain, it can be ensured that the front and rear traveling wheels 131 rotate at the same time, so that slippage will not occur.
[0036] The traveling wheel 131 engages with the chain via a ratchet. The ratchet enables the sprinkler to move forward automatically while the hose is being towed, and it is not affected by the reducer 132 during the towing and irrigation process.
[0037] Two crossbeams 12 are provided on each side; the water supply pipe 3 is vertically inclined and fixed in the middle of the two crossbeams 12 on the front side of the frame 01. The water supply pipe 3 is installed on the crossbeams 12, which can fix the water supply pipe 3 and improve the overall stability of the sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0038] A telescopic rod 4 is vertically installed in the middle of the crossbeam 12 on the rear side of the frame 01. A pressure roller 5 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 4. The pressure roller 5 abuts against the outer surface of the water supply pipe 00. The pressure roller 5 and the telescopic rod 4 are used to press the water supply pipe 00 onto the ground to prevent the water supply pipe 00 from swinging during the pipe dragging process, which would affect the crops on both sides.
[0039] The middle part of the telescopic rod 4 is fixed to the outer wall of the water pipe 3 by the cross bracing beam 6.
[0040] The water supply pipe 3 is fixed to the crossbeam 12 by several U-shaped clips 7, which further improves the stability of the water supply pipe 3.
[0041] Water supply connectors 31 are respectively provided on both sides of the middle section of the water supply pipe 3. The water supply connectors 31 are connected to the two sprinkler frames 2 respectively through water supply hoses 24. The connection between the two water supply connectors 31 and the sprinkler frames 2 through the water supply hoses 24 can make the water volume in the two sprinkler frames 2 equal and facilitate the installation, disassembly and adjustment of the sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0042] The bottom of the water supply pipe 3 is equipped with a pipe-dragging connector 33; the pipe-dragging connector 33 is connected to the bottom of the water supply pipe 3, and the pipe-dragging connector 33 is zigzag-shaped and points towards the rear of the frame 01; the pipe-dragging connector 33 is connected to the water supply pipe 00 through the water supply hose 24. The connection between the water supply pipe 3 and the water supply pipe 00 through the pipe-dragging connector 33 and the water supply hose 24 makes the water supply route smoother, avoids the phenomenon of bending of the water supply pipe 00 during the pipe-dragging process, and extends the service life of the water supply pipe 00.
[0043] A T-shaped conduit 32 is also provided in the middle of the water supply pipe 3. The T-shaped conduit 32 is horizontally positioned towards the front of the frame 01. The T-shaped conduit 32 includes a horizontal pipe and a connecting pipe. The middle of the horizontal pipe is connected to the end of the connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water supply pipe 3. Both ends of the horizontal pipe are sealed, and several nozzles 21 are evenly arranged on the horizontal pipe, with the nozzles 21 facing the ground. The T-shaped conduit 32 and the connector can irrigate the crops on the front side of the frame 01.
[0044] The pipe connector 33 is fixed to the water pipe 3 via a flange. It can be easily disassembled and installed.
[0045] A water nozzle 34 is connected to the top of the water pipe 3, and the water nozzle 34 points towards the rear of the sprinkler irrigation machine. The water nozzle 34 can spray water towards the rear of the sprinkler irrigation machine to irrigate the crops in the middle of the rear of the frame 01, thus avoiding the phenomenon that the crops at the rear cannot be irrigated.
[0046] The water supply pipe 3 is a square tube. The square shape of the water supply pipe 3 allows for better fit and fixation with the frame 01 and the crossbeam 12, ensuring the overall stability of the sprinkler irrigation machine.
[0047] The sprinkler frame 2 includes a fixed support frame 22, a sprinkler pipe 23, and several nozzles 21 disposed below the sprinkler pipe 23; the nozzles 21 are evenly arranged and connected along the axis of the sprinkler pipe 23. The sprinkler pipe 23 sprays water supplied by the water supply pipe 3 through the nozzles 21 to irrigate the crops below.
[0048] The sprinkler also includes a battery 81; the battery 81 is fixed in the middle of the frame 01 and connected to the drive motor 133. The battery 81 supplies power to the drive motor 133, eliminating the need for the sprinkler to be pulled by electrical wires and enhancing the overall flexibility of the sprinkler.
[0049] The sprinkler is also equipped with a 48V generator 8, which can provide power when the battery 81 is low on power.
[0050] A camera 9 is fixedly mounted on the side of rack 01. Combined with a wireless communication module, it allows for remote monitoring of the site, facilitating future upgrades to enable remote and autonomous control.
[0051] The working process of this embodiment:
[0052] ① Adjust the overall width of the frame 01 according to the row spacing of the crop, and connect the water supply pipe 00 to the pipe connector 33; connect the sprinkler frame 2 to the water supply pipe 3;
[0053] ② Adjust the telescopic rod 4 so that the pressure roller 5 can press the water supply pipe 00 onto the ground;
[0054] ③ Start the drive motor 133, and the sprinkler will drag the water supply pipe 00 forward;
[0055] ④ After the sprinkler machine moves to the opposite side of the field, the water supply pipe 00 supplies water;
[0056] ⑤ The water supply pipe begins to be retracted, the sprinkler is dragged, and the crops on both sides and behind are sprinkled at the same time.
[0057] ⑥ After the sprinkler has been dragged a certain distance, pause the hose reel and irrigate the crops at the current location;
[0058] ⑦ After watering for a certain period of time, continue to drag the water supply pipe.
[0059] Repeat steps 6-7 until the entire row of crops has been irrigated.
[0060] Example 2: Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that the fixed support frame 22 is set as a series of folding arm frames, and each folding arm frame is connected to the sprinkler pipe 23 by a flexible hose. This allows the sprinkler frame 2 to be extended, thereby enabling simultaneous sprinkler irrigation of a wider area of crops and accelerating the overall sprinkler irrigation efficiency.
[0061] Example 3: Example 3 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that a solenoid valve is installed in the middle of the water supply pipe 3. The solenoid valve can control the water volume of the sprinkler frame 2, the T-shaped guide pipe 32 and the water nozzle 34 respectively, thereby adjusting the irrigation method of the crop.
[0062] Example 4: Example 4 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that a clutch is provided between the reducer 132 and the drive motor 133. This makes it easier and less strenuous to move the sprinkler along with the water supply pipe 00.
[0063] In the above embodiments, the form of the triangular support frame 11 can be adjusted as needed, such as changing it to a square support frame, as long as the strength requirements are met. This patent will not list each embodiment individually.
