[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments analyzed and obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-propelled mobile sprinkler irrigation machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It aims to improve the problem that existing equipment cannot retract and protect the sprinkler head. By rotating the frame to screw into and out of the storage slot, the sprinkler head can be screwed out of the storage slot when water is being sprayed. The machine can irrigate the adjacent farmland while moving forward. When not spraying, the sprinkler head can be screwed back into the storage slot for protection. This eliminates the need for frequent disassembly and assembly of the sprinkler head, saving time spent on non-sprinkling operations and ensuring overall work efficiency.
[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a self-propelled mobile sprinkler irrigation machine, including a mobile sprinkler box 1. The sprinkler box 1 is equipped with a rotating frame (referring to the first rotating frame 5 and the second rotating frame 6), a rotating mechanism, and a storage slot. The rotating frame can rotate in a vertical plane under the drive of the rotating mechanism. The storage slot is located on the downward rotation path of the rotating frame and is used to store the rotating frame. The rotating frame has a nozzle mounting area, which faces the storage slot on the downward rotation path of the rotating frame. A sprinkler head 7 is installed in the nozzle mounting area, and the spraying direction of the sprinkler head 7 is perpendicular to the walking direction of the sprinkler box 1. Preferably, one end of the rotating frame is hinged in the storage slot, the axis of the hinge shaft is parallel to the forward direction, and the other end of the rotating frame has a nozzle mounting area. By adjusting the upward rotation angle of the rotating frame, the angle between the sprinkler head 7 and the ground can be changed to adjust the orientation angle of the sprinkler head 7.
[0028] In use, the rotating frame, driven by the rotating mechanism, rotates vertically upwards, extending the sprinkler head 7 from the storage slot. By adjusting the sprinkler head 7 to a suitable angle using the rotating mechanism, irrigation can be carried out on adjacent farmland while the sprinkler box 1 is moving. After irrigation, the rotating frame, driven by the rotating mechanism, rotates vertically downwards into the storage slot, retracting the sprinkler head 7 for safekeeping and protection. This eliminates the need for disassembly, saving frequent disassembly and reassembly steps and improving operational efficiency.
[0029] In one embodiment, two rotating frames are included, with their spraying directions opposite in the horizontal direction. Specifically, one rotating frame is a first rotating frame 5, and the other is a second rotating frame 6. The first rotating frame 5 can be deployed from the right side of the sprinkler box 1 (based on the forward direction), with the sprinkler head 7 on the first rotating frame 5 facing to the right to irrigate the right-side farmland. The second rotating frame 6 can be deployed from the left side of the sprinkler box 1 (based on the forward direction), with the sprinkler head 7 on the second rotating frame 6 facing to the left to irrigate the left-side farmland. The above is only a preferred arrangement; it is also possible to set up rotating frames on only one side as needed, such as only setting up the first rotating frame 5 or only setting up the second rotating frame 6 to achieve unilateral irrigation.
[0030] In one embodiment, the sprinkler box 1 has an installation cavity 2. The receiving slot is a through slot. The receiving slot communicates with the installation cavity 2. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor 8, a rotating shaft 9, a rotating shaft seat 10, and a gear set. The rotating motor 8 is installed on the top of the sprinkler box 1, and the motor shaft of the rotating motor 8 extends vertically into the installation cavity 2. The rotating shaft seat 10 is installed in the installation cavity 2, one end of the rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft seat 10, and the other end of the rotating shaft 9 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the rotating motor 8. The gear set includes a driving bevel gear 11 and a driven bevel gear. The driving bevel gear 11 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9, and the driven bevel gear meshes with the driving bevel gear 11. The axis of the driving bevel gear 11 and the axis of the driven bevel gear are perpendicular to each other. A drive shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear, and a rotating frame is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft is horizontally arranged and parallel to the travel direction of the sprinkler box 1. The number of driven bevel gears is the same as the number of rotating frames. For example, if the rotating frames include two frames (first rotating frame 5 and second rotating frame 6), there are also two driven bevel gears: a first driven bevel gear 12 and a second driven bevel gear 13. The drive shaft of the first driven bevel gear 12 is fixedly connected to the first rotating frame 5, and the drive shaft of the second driven bevel gear 13 is fixedly connected to the second rotating frame 6. The first driven bevel gear 12 and the second driven bevel gear 13 are located on opposite sides of the rotating shaft 9. When the motor shaft of the rotating motor 8 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate, causing the driving bevel gear 11 to rotate accordingly. This, in turn, drives the first driven bevel gear 12 and the second driven bevel gear 13 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The first driven bevel gear 12 and the second driven bevel gear 13 will rotate synchronously upwards or downwards in opposite directions, achieving synchronous upward or downward rotation of the first rotating frame 5 and the second rotating frame 6, thus achieving synchronous unfolding and retraction. By controlling the rotation angle of the motor shaft of the rotating motor 8, the unfolding angle of the first rotating frame 5 and the second rotating frame 6 can be adjusted.
[0031] In one embodiment, the sprinkler box 1 has a water storage chamber 3, and the mounting chamber 2 has a water pump 15. The input end of the water pump 15 is connected to an inlet pipe 16, and the output end of the water pump 15 is connected to an outlet pipe 17. The inlet pipe 16 extends into the water storage chamber 3. A water supply channel is provided within the rotating frame (first rotating frame 5 and second rotating frame 6), and the inlet of the water supply channel is connected to the outlet pipe 17. The outlet of the water supply channel is connected to the sprinkler head 7. When the water pump 15 is started, water is drawn from the water storage chamber 3, and then sent to the water supply channel of the rotating frame through the outlet pipe 17, and then sprayed out by the sprinkler head 7 for irrigation. The sprinkler box 1 is provided with an inlet connector connected to the water storage chamber 3, through which water can be replenished to the water storage chamber 3. Furthermore, the water supply can be continuously replenished to the water storage chamber 3 by maintaining a continuous connection to the inlet connector.
[0032] In one embodiment, the sprinkler box 1 moves using wheels 18. The wheels 18 can be steerable wheels to enable the sprinkler box 1 to move forward and turn. Alternatively, straight-moving wheels 18 can be used to enable the sprinkler box 1 to move forward. When changing its travel path, a transfer device can be used to transport it to another travel path.
[0033] In one embodiment, the sprinkler box 1 is equipped with a clearing device for clearing obstacles in front of it in the direction of travel, which can ensure the stability of the sprinkler box 1 during its movement.
[0034] In one embodiment, the obstacle removal device includes an obstacle removal mechanism and a power mechanism. The obstacle removal mechanism includes a mounting plate 19, an obstacle removal shaft 20, a clamping assembly, and an obstacle removal plate 21. The mounting plate 19 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the sprinkler box 1 facing the forward direction. The obstacle removal shaft 20 is vertically arranged and rotatably connected to the mounting plate 19. The clamping assembly includes a limiting cover 22, a sliding cover 23, and multiple telescopic rods 24. The closed end of the limiting cover 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the obstacle removal shaft 20, and the open end of the limiting cover 22 faces and covers the open end of the sliding cover 23. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 24 is fixedly connected to the closed end of the limiting cover 22, and the movable end of the telescopic rod 24 is fixedly connected to the closed end of the sliding cover 23. A support spring 25 is mounted on the telescopic rod 24, and both ends of the support spring 25 are fixedly connected to the closed end of the limiting cover 22 and the closed end of the sliding cover 23, respectively. The obstacle removal plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the closed end of the sliding cover 23. The support spring 25 is compressed when the clearing plate 21 contacts the ground to ensure that the clearing plate 21 fits tightly against the ground and effectively clears obstacles from the ground. The power mechanism drives the clearing shaft 20 to rotate. The rotation of the clearing shaft 20 drives the limiting cover 22 to rotate. The limiting cover 22 drives the sliding cover 23 to rotate through the telescopic rod 24, which in turn drives the clearing plate 21 to rotate, pushing the obstacles away from the travel path and avoiding affecting the movement of the sprinkler box 1.
[0035] In one embodiment, the clearing plate 21 is a horizontally arranged cross-shaped plate. Of course, the clearing plate 21 can also be a horizontally arranged straight plate or a horizontally arranged Y-shaped plate.
[0036] In one embodiment, the power mechanism includes a power motor 26, a drive pulley 27, a driven pulley 28, and a power belt 29. The sprinkler box 1 has a power chamber 4, and both the power motor 26 and the drive pulley 27 are installed within the power chamber 4. The motor shaft of the power motor 26 is vertically oriented, and the drive pulley 27 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the power motor 26. The power chamber 4 has a power output port 14 communicating with the outside. The driven pulley 28 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the obstacle clearing shaft 20, and the power belt 29 passes through the power output port 14, connecting the drive pulley 27 and the driven pulley 28. The number of driven pulleys 28 matches the number of obstacle clearing mechanisms; for example, if there are two obstacle clearing mechanisms, there are two driven pulleys 28, and the obstacle clearing shafts 20 of the two obstacle clearing mechanisms are coaxially and fixedly connected to the two driven pulleys 28 respectively. The rotation of the motor shaft of the power motor 26 can drive the drive pulley 27 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven pulley 28 to rotate via the power belt 29, and then drives the obstacle removal shaft 20 to rotate.
[0037] In one embodiment, the sprinkler box 1 is a rectangular box, the obstacle clearing device is located on the front side wall of the rectangular box, the rotating motor 8 is installed on the top wall of the sprinkler box 1, and two rotating frames (first rotating frame 5 and second rotating frame 6) are located on the top wall of the sprinkler box 1. The connection point between the first rotating frame 5 and the drive shaft of the first driven bevel gear 12 (i.e., the hinge point with the storage slot) is closer to the right side wall, and the storage slot for the first rotating frame 5 extends to the left side wall. The connection point between the second rotating frame 6 and the drive shaft of the second driven bevel gear 13 (i.e., the hinge point with the storage slot) is closer to the left side wall, and the storage slot for the second rotating frame 6 extends to the right side wall.
[0038] In one embodiment, the mounting cavity 2, the water storage cavity 3, and the power cavity 4 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0039] In one embodiment, the sprinkler box 1 is provided with a maintenance door, which communicates with the installation cavity 2 and the power cavity 4, so as to perform maintenance on the facilities in the installation cavity 2 and the power cavity 4.
[0040] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
