Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sprinkler irrigation devices, and in particular relates to an automated suspended mobile sprinkler irrigation device. Background Technology
[0002] Sprinkler irrigation, as a highly efficient and water-saving irrigation method, is widely used in farmland, greenhouses, orchards, and flower cultivation. However, traditional sprinkler irrigation devices have many shortcomings in practical applications that need improvement, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern planting for precise, efficient, and low-loss irrigation. Specific problems are as follows: 1. Traditional sprinkler irrigation devices are mostly fixed-support or ground-towed structures. Fixed-support sprinkler irrigation has a fixed coverage area and cannot flexibly adjust the irrigation path according to the shape and size of the crop planting area. It is not suitable for irregular plots (such as hillsides and terraces) or scenarios that require zoned irrigation. Ground-towed sprinkler irrigation relies on manual pulling of the water hose, which is not only labor-intensive, but also easily affected by the growth status of crops in the field. For example, tall-stemmed crops (corn, sorghum) will obstruct the dragging of the water hose in the later stages of growth, resulting in interruption of irrigation or missed irrigation.
[0003] 2. Traditional sprinkler irrigation often adopts a single-direction or single-height sprinkler design with fixed nozzle angle and range, making it difficult to meet the water needs of crops with different plant heights and different growth stages. For example, when irrigating low-growing crops (wheat, rice), the excessively high nozzle can lead to large water evaporation, while when irrigating vine crops (winter melon, pumpkin), the excessively low nozzle can be blocked by the vines, causing localized drought or waterlogging, which affects the uniformity of crop growth. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated suspended mobile sprinkler irrigation device, which solves the problems of existing sprinkler irrigation devices, such as the inflexible coverage of fixed bracket type, the reliance on manual labor and susceptibility to crop impact of fixed ground drag type, and the difficulty in adapting to different plot conditions due to the fixed nozzle angle and range in the sprinkler design.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to an automated suspended mobile sprinkler irrigation device, comprising: At least two support columns are provided, with a traction main rope between the tops of the support columns and a guide rope below the traction main rope; A water supply assembly and a sprinkler assembly are connected together, wherein the water supply assembly is movably connected to a guide rope, and the sprinkler assembly is connected to a traction main rope via a traction pulley. A drive assembly, connected to the traction main rope, is used to move the traction main rope, thereby enabling the spray assembly to move and spray between the two supporting columns.
[0006] Preferably, the driving component includes: The speed reducer is installed on the outside of the supporting column; The transmission sprocket assembly and the rope pulley are provided. One end of the transmission sprocket assembly is connected to the reducer, and the other end of the transmission sprocket assembly is connected to the rope pulley. The rope pulley is installed at the top of the support column, and the traction main rope passes around the rope pulley.
[0007] Preferably, the water supply component includes: A main water supply pipe, the outlet of which is connected to a branch water supply pipe; A water delivery hose, one end of which is connected to the outlet end of the water delivery branch pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the water delivery hose is provided with multiple lifting rings on its exterior, and multiple driven trolleys are movably provided on the guide rope, with the driven trolleys connected to the corresponding lifting rings.
[0009] Preferably, the water delivery hose consists of a soft outer shell and steel wire, with the steel wire fixed in a spiral shape inside the soft outer shell.
[0010] Preferably, the spray assembly includes: The main sprinkler pipe is connected to the outlet end of the water delivery hose; The high-level lower spray pipe and the water guide pipe are both connected to the lower end face of the main spray pipe. The water guide pipe is connected to two horizontal water pipes and a first low-level lower spray pipe through a four-way connector. The first and second upper spray pipes are both connected to the upper end face of the transverse water pipe, and a nozzle is installed at the top of both the first and second upper spray pipes. The second low-position lower spray pipe is connected to the lower end face of the transverse water pipe, and the second low-position lower spray pipe is located between the first upper spray pipe and the second upper spray pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the support column is fixed with a mounting base, and the outer wall of the support column is connected with a pull rope.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a drive component to move the traction main rope, enabling the sprinkler component to automatically move back and forth between the support columns without manual dragging, meeting the needs of unattended operation and greatly reducing the manpower input in field operations. It is especially suitable for the management of large-area farmland or multi-regional greenhouses.
[0013] 2. The suspended structure of this utility model is detached from the ground and is not affected by the growth status of crops in the field or the terrain (hillside, terraced fields). The sprinkler components can move smoothly along the traction main rope to cover regular and irregular plots. By adding support columns and sprinkler units, the irrigation width can be flexibly expanded to adapt to different scenarios from small experimental fields to large farmlands.
[0014] 3. The sprinkler system adopts a three-dimensional design with high-level downspray pipes, low-level downspray pipes, and an upper spray pipe. The high-level downspray pipes can cover a large area from above the crops, the low-level downspray pipes can replenish water for low-growing crops or the lower part of the crops, and the upper spray pipes can spray the crop canopy. This takes into account the water requirements of different types of crops such as tall stems, low-growing crops, and vines, and solves the problems of traditional sprinkler irrigation being monotonous and having poor height adaptability.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] 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 obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an automated suspended mobile sprinkler irrigation device, including a support column 1, a drive assembly 3, a water supply assembly 5, and a sprinkler assembly 6. At least two support columns 1 are provided, and a mounting base is fixed to the bottom of each support column 1. Several mounting holes are provided on the mounting base, allowing for fixation using mounting stakes to ensure the stability of the support column 1 after installation. The support column 1 can adopt a liftable structure design (existing telescopic columns can be used, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here). The liftable support column 1 can be adjusted in height according to different crop types, facilitating field operation of various agricultural machinery and meeting the sprinkler irrigation needs of various plants when simultaneously cultivating different crops. A pull rope 4 is connected to the outer wall of the support column 1, with one end of the pull rope 4 connected to the support column 1. The other end can be inserted into the soil by stakes, and the support column 1 can be pulled diagonally by ropes 4 in different directions to further ensure the stability of the support column 1 after installation. A traction main rope 2 is provided between the tops of the support columns 1, and a guide rope 9 is provided below the traction main rope 2. Both the traction main rope 2 and the guide rope 9 are made of steel wire rope. The water supply component 5 and the sprinkler component 6 are connected. The water supply component 5 is movably connected to the guide rope 9. Specifically, multiple lifting rings are provided on the outside of the water supply hose 53. Multiple driven small pulleys 8 are movably provided on the guide rope 9. The driven small pulleys 8 are connected to the corresponding lifting rings. The sprinkler component 6 is connected to the traction main rope 2 through the traction pulley 7. The drive component 3 is connected to the traction main rope 2. The traction main rope 2 is moved by the drive component 3 so that the sprinkler component 6 can move and spray between the two support columns 1.
[0021] Among them, see Figures 1-3As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a reducer 31, a transmission sprocket set 32, and a rope pulley 33. The reducer 31 is a geared motor and is installed outside the support column 1. One end of the transmission sprocket set 32 is connected to the reducer 31. The transmission sprocket set 32 consists of a chain and a transmission sprocket. Specifically, after the reducer 31 starts, it drives the transmission sprocket to rotate through the chain drive. The transmission sprocket then drives the rope pulley 33 to rotate through the chain drive, so that the rope pulley 33 obtains the required rotational speed. Simultaneously, the rope pulley 33 rotates... The main traction rope 2 is driven to move forward or backward. The other end of the transmission sprocket group 32 is connected to the rope wheel 33, which is installed on the top of the support column 1. The main traction rope 2 passes around the rope wheel 33. After the reducer 31 is started, its output end drives the transmission sprocket group 32 to move, thereby driving the main traction rope 2 that passes around the rope wheel 33 to move, so as to drive the spray assembly 6 to move. The shaft end of the reducer 31 can rotate in both directions, so that the spray assembly 6 can move back and forth between the support columns 1 at both ends to adjust the spray position.
[0022] See Figures 1-2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the water supply component 5 includes a main water supply pipe 51 and a water delivery hose 53. The outlet end of the main water supply pipe 51 is connected to a branch water supply pipe 52, and one end of the water delivery hose 53 is connected to the outlet end of the branch water supply pipe 52. The inlet end of the main water supply pipe 51 can be connected to an integrated water and fertilizer equipment (water pump, fertilizer tank, etc.) through a pipeline, which can provide a continuous water supply for automated sprinkler irrigation.
[0023] The installation of the water supply main pipe 51 can include at least the following two methods: one is to bury the water supply main pipe 51 ≥600mm below the ground; the other is to lay the water supply main pipe 51 on the periphery of the irrigation area. Both methods can prevent the water supply main pipe 51 from being obstructed when turning over the soil in the irrigation area.
[0024] The water supply branch pipe 52 is installed on the support column 1, and a flow and pressure monitor is installed on the water supply branch pipe 52 to monitor the water volume.
[0025] The water delivery hose 53 consists of a soft outer shell and a steel wire 531. The steel wire 531 is fixed in a spiral shape inside the soft outer shell. When the spray assembly 6 moves close to the water supply branch pipe 52, the water delivery hose 53 will be retracted to the same position. The steel wire 531 can, on the one hand, provide a rounded transition for the bend of the water delivery hose 53 to avoid obstructing the water flow, and on the other hand, prevent the water delivery hose 53 from being bent excessively and permanently deformed.
[0026] See Figures 4-5As shown, the sprinkler assembly 6 includes a main sprinkler pipe 61, a high-level lower sprinkler pipe 62, and a water guide pipe 63. The main sprinkler pipe 61 is connected to the outlet end of the water delivery hose 53. The main sprinkler pipe 61 is connected to the main traction rope 2 via a traction pulley 7, with the upper end of the traction pulley 7 fixed to the main traction rope 2 and the middle part slidably connected to the guide rope 9. The high-level lower sprinkler pipe 62 and the water guide pipe 63 are both connected to the lower end face of the main sprinkler pipe 61. The high-level lower sprinkler pipe 62 is used for sprinkler irrigation from a higher position. The water guide pipe 63 is connected to two horizontal water pipes 64 and a first low-level lower sprinkler pipe 65 via a four-way connector. A first upper sprinkler pipe 66 and a second upper sprinkler pipe 67 are connected to the upper end face of the horizontal water pipes 64, and spray nozzles are installed at the top of the first upper sprinkler pipe 66 and the second upper sprinkler pipe 67. The nozzle 69 is a rotatable nozzle. A second low-position lower spray pipe 68 is connected to the lower end face of the horizontal water pipe 64, and the second low-position lower spray pipe 68 is located between the first upper spray pipe 66 and the second upper spray pipe 67. Valves are installed on the main spray pipe 61, the high-position lower spray pipe 62, the water guide pipe 63, the horizontal water pipe 64, the first low-position lower spray pipe 65, the first upper spray pipe 66, the second upper spray pipe 67, and the second low-position lower spray pipe 68. Flow and pressure monitors are installed on each branch pipe to monitor the operating conditions of each branch in real time. Each branch pipe can supply irrigation with equal amount and pressure at the same time, or it can supply spray, sprinkle, and irrigate the nozzle 69 by adjusting the differential pressure. The flow and pressure can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.
[0027] The first upper spray pipe 66 is located near the water inlet end of the horizontal water pipe 64, and the first upper spray pipe 66 is higher than the second upper spray pipe 67. Furthermore, the nozzle 69 on the first upper spray pipe 66 is larger than the nozzle 69 on the second upper spray pipe 67.
[0028] Based on the above, in practical use, support columns 1 can be installed at both ends of the irrigation area along its length, along with drive components 3, water supply components 5, and sprinkler components 6. After installation, it can be put into use. During use, drive components 3 move the traction rope 2, which in turn moves the sprinkler components 6 along the length of the irrigation area via traction pulleys 7. To accommodate different irrigation area widths, multiple sets of this mobile sprinkler system can be installed to meet the irrigation needs of areas with varying widths. Furthermore, because the sprinkler components 6 are suspended and movable, they can avoid crops and irrigate from above, thus solving the problem of... This method overcomes the difficulties of uneven water distribution in conventional irrigation, eliminates the problems associated with traditional water-bearing systems, and avoids the drawbacks of aging and discarded water belts that pollute the soil and waste resources. Furthermore, it can meet the irrigation needs of various plants, allowing for real-time adjustment of sprinkler distance and water volume based on different plants, seasons, and soil moisture conditions. It not only satisfies the spraying, irrigation, pesticide application, and fertilization needs of various plants but also meets the spraying, irrigation, pesticide application, and fertilization needs of various environments, such as: tall plants like corn and sorghum; common plants like wheat and rice; and vines like winter melon and pumpkin. It is also suitable for: greenhouses, small experimental fields, large farmlands, hillsides, terraced fields, and flower cultivation.
[0029] The maximum travel of the main traction rope 2 in both directions is limited to the distance between the two end support columns 1. For motion control, it can be set to automatic reciprocating mode with the controller, and automatically reverses after touching any endpoint; or it can be set to manual reciprocating mode, and automatically runs to the endpoint after being jogged. It can also be manually operated to stop or start at any position.
[0030] It can also be equipped with a limit stop, which is a safety guarantee in automatic operation mode. During the set operating period, if the reciprocating stroke controller fails by chance and causes the traction trolley 7 to travel beyond the limit, it will instantly trigger the limit brake. When the limit brake is triggered, the power is immediately cut off. At the same time, the electromechanical brake after the power failure will lock the mechanical equipment tightly, thereby avoiding unnecessary damage to the equipment and facilities caused by the local failure. The limit stop can be a proximity sensor, which does not need to be in direct contact with the trolley. When the trolley exceeds the limit and enters the sensor detection range, the sensor outputs a high-level signal through the electromagnetic induction principle, which is suitable for scenarios with high triggering accuracy requirements.
