Abstract

Apparatus (10) for spraying plants (11), in particular grapevines on terraced vineyard slopes (12), with at least one endlessly guided rope (13, 14) to which at least one spraying device (16) can be arranged.

Description

The spray grape vines on terraced vineyards for controlling pests and diseases Grapevines by people is very expensive. For this purpose are At least two people are required in the vineyard all Terraces drain individually and very troublesome tubing containing a spray gun with a spray medium connecting tank, have to go back and forth. alternative you can use the spray medium from above with a helicopter, on which one the spraying medium containing tank is sprayed on the vines. Of the Use of helicopters is very expensive.

The The object of the invention is to provide a device for planting to spray with a minimum of staff.

The Invention solves the stated object with a device for spraying Plants, especially of vines on terraced vineyard slopes, with at least one endlessly guided rope on which at least a spraying device can be arranged. The spray device is So moved by the endless circulating led rope, so that the required personnel costs are limited to a single person can. Conveniently, extends the course of the rope parallel to the slope of the vineyard slope over the individual terraces of the vineyard. The device according to the invention can be used both for pest and and disease control as well as for irrigation used by plants.

Conveniently, can the at least one spray device be moved above the plants, so that the surface of the Plants sprayed optimally can be. For this purpose, the at least one endlessly circulating guided Rope to be guided along several poles along. The masts can be sideways stand by the plants.

The at least one spraying device can be arranged with one between two endlessly circulating led ropes Nozzles provided Have rod. The rod thus preferably extends vertically to the slope of the vineyard slope. By means of the rod one can as possible wide area sprayed which significantly increases the efficiency of the device becomes.

The Nozzles can in be aligned with the way that a spray medium at a certain angle, which lies between the horizontal and the vertical, on the Sprayed plants can be. The spray medium thus becomes most effective laterally from above applied the plants.

In order to the device can spray the plants optimally, namely in the downslope as well as up the hill directed movement of the rod, the rod can pivot about its longitudinal axis be. When the rod is around a pulley, at the direction of movement the rod is reversed, guided the bar is automatically pivoted to the ground, so that the angle at which the spray medium on the plants is optimal is applied, again between the horizontal and the vertical lies.

Conveniently, Can the rod by means of a hose with a spray medium stocking tank to be connected.

In order to the hose does not lie on the ground, if the at least a spraying device upslope is moved, and thus causes malfunction of the device, The hose can be wound up automatically on a reel.

There Every winemaker usually over an agricultural vehicle has, for example, a Tractor, the at least one endlessly circulating rope and / or a pump can be powered by an agricultural vehicle become. Naturally can for this purpose also a stationary one Internal combustion engine can be provided.

alternative it is possible, however the at least one endless circulating rope and / or the pump with to drive an electric motor. If for this purpose no stationary electric motor is available can the agricultural vehicle with its alternator the Feed the electric motor.

following is an embodiment of Device according to the invention explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

in the Show individual:

1 a side perspective view of the arranged in a vineyard device;

2 a top perspective view of the device;

3 a detailed side view of a downhill and uphill sprayer.

1 shows a device 10 for spraying plants 11 which are grapevines in the present example. The plants 11 are on a terraced vineyard slope 12 grown.

The device 10 has two endless circulating ropes 13 and 14 on. The ropes 13 and 14 run parallel to each other and are on several masts 15 guided along. Between the ropes 13 and 14 is a spraying device 16 arranged. The sprayer 16 has a pole 20 on, at the nozzles 21 are provided (see 2 ).

The sprayer 16 is from above the plants 11 moved away. At pulleys 22 and 23 becomes the direction of movement of the sprayer 16 vice versa, so the sprayer 16 as often as required can be moved uphill and downhill without the direction of movement of the ropes 13 and 14 must be changed.

The sprayer 16 is at one end with a hose 24 connected (see 1 and 2 ). The hose 24 which is connected at the other end to a tank storing a spraying medium, is self-propelled on a reel 25 wound up when the sprayer 16 is moved up the slope.

3 shows the plant 11 and the pole 20 left in downhill and right in uphill direction. The nozzles 21 the pole 20 are aligned in such a way that the spray medium at a certain angle, which lies between the horizontal and the vertical, on the plant 11 is sprayed. Using this particular angle, a fine mist may not just spray from above onto the leaves of the plant 11 but also reach the underside of the leaves from below. Thus, the plant becomes 11 sprayed particularly effectively, which is very important especially in pest and disease control. The spray medium is preferably forward in the direction of movement of the plant 11 sprayed. However, it can also reverse, so opposite to the direction of movement, on the plant 11 be sprayed.

The pole 20 is pivotable about its longitudinal axis. If the rod 20 around the pulleys 22 and 23 is guided, the rod becomes 20 automatically to a soil 30 pivoted out. In this way, the spray medium on both the uphill as well as the downhill movement in the angle between the horizontal and the vertical optimally to the plant 11 be applied.
