Definitions

  • This invention relates to a ramp for irrigation which can be folded out and in and is intended to be moved mounted on a carriage or the like.
  • Conventional ramps for this purpose normally are assembled of lattice sections with a magnitude of 10 m, which are •jointed to a rigid ramp of substantial length.
  • the ramp is intended to be attached to and driven by a drive means, which normally also comprises pumps etc. for supplying the ramp with water.
  • Ramps constructed in this way are not self-supporting,but are carried on a •number of wheel pairs, which are arranged along the ramp and in most cases are driven.
  • a ramp of this kind is intended to be advanced over the field to be irrigated either in a usually rectilinear path perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ramp, or rotatingly so that the free end of the ramp de ⁇ scribes a circle, the radius of which is the ramp, and the drive means is located in the central point of the circle.
  • the ramp water is supplied by means of one or more pipes or the like, in connection to which nozzles are located for spreading the water.
  • Ramps of the aforesaid kind show several disadvantages. They are expensive, due to the fact that the supporting wheel pairs must be driven-.- This separate drive of the wheels normally cannot be avoided, because the require ⁇ ments on a drive means for the ramp in its entirety would be too high, and so would also be the strength require ⁇ ments on the ramp. Considering that the wheels must ad ⁇ vancedon uneven ground, i.e. the field to be irrigated, the resistance is substantial. It is possible to establ ⁇ ish courses for the wheels in order to reduce the drive demand, but also this is expensive from an initial cost as well from a maintenance aspect. The wheels, irrespect ⁇ ive of whether courses are established or not, give rise to damages on the crop and reduce the utilization degree
  • a further disadvantage is that extensive mounting work usu ⁇ ally is required when the ramp is to be transported, for example from one field to another.
  • the present invention relates to an irrigation ramp, at which the aforesaid disadvantages and problems are not involved.
  • the invention thus-, relates to an irrigation ramp for cultivated fields or the like which is intended to be ad ⁇ vanced over the field mounted on a carriage or the like, and which via said carriage is connected to a water supply mains.
  • the ramp comprises two identical self-supporting beam systems, one on each side of the longitudinal axis of the carriage, each beam system comprising a first carrying partial system assembled of pipe lengths or the like hingedly connected at their ends one after the other in a row, so that the pipe lengths can be pivoted relative to each other and to the carriage in a substantially horizontal plane, which first partial system, thus, comprises two end lengths, one of which is intended to be attached to the carriage and the other one is intended to constitute the free end of the beam system, where successively smaller ' pipe sections or corresponding sections are used in the direction outward to the free end, that each beam system comprises a second guiding partial system attached to and preferably beneath said first partial system, which second partial system is assembled of flat iron lengths or the like hingedly connected at their ends to each other in a row, so that pivotal mobility correspond ⁇ ing to that for the first carrying partial system is ob- teine ⁇ , that said first and said second partial system substantially correspond to each other, in such a
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic front view of an embodiment of an irr ⁇ igation ramp according to the invention, corresponding to the view from below of the ramp in Fig. 3 where the ramp is fold- ed out, and Fig..l does not show the entire ramp, Fig. 2 shows the outermost free end of the right-hand part of the ramp according to Fig. 1 ,
  • Fig. 3 shows the ramp according to Fig. 1 seen from above in Fig. * ,
  • OMPI Fig. 4 shows the outermost free end according to Fig. 2 seen from above in Fig. 2,
  • Fig. 5 shows the ramp according to Fig. 3 in folded-in pos ⁇ ition
  • Fig. 6 shows schematically means for driven folding-out and folding-in of a beam system associated with the ramp, which beam system is intended to carry a hose for water supply.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a platform of a carriage 1,2 provided with four wheels 2.
  • the carriage which is shown schematically in the Figures, is intended to carry an irrigation ramp according to the invention and be advanced o ⁇ eer the field or the like to be irrigated.
  • the carriage 1,2 is connected by a hose 3 to a water supply mains (not shown) .
  • the irrigation ramp comprises two preferably identical beam systems 4,5 or arms, of which one is located on each side of the longitudinal axis of the carriage 1,2, and which are self-supporting, i.e. they are attached only to the carri ⁇ age and not intended to be supported in some other way.
  • Each beam system 4,5 comprises a first carrying partial system 6,7 built-up of preferably pipe lengths 8 or pipe portions 8 or the like.
  • the pipe lengths--8 are hingedly connected end to end in a row one after the other, preferably in such a mann ⁇ er that the ends 9 slightly overlap each other in a vertic ⁇ al plane and are connected by a vertical through bolt 10 or the like as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the pipe lengths 8 prefer ⁇ ably are arranged alternatingly overlying and underlying as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the pipe lengths 8, thus, are pivotal rel ⁇ ative to each other and to said carriage in a substantially horizontal plane.
  • the dead weight to be carried by the partial system 6,7. In this way the self-supporting length of the beam system can be increased.
  • Each beam system 4,5 comprises also a second guiding part ⁇ ial system 12,13 attached to and preferably beneath said first partial system 6,7, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which second partial system is built-up of flat iron lengths 14 or the like, which in a suitable way are hingedly connected end to end, so that pivotal mobility corresponding to that for the said first partial system 6,7 is obtained.
  • said first and said second partial system correspond to each other in such a manner, that all pipe lengths and flat iron lengths are equally long,, except the 15,16 located at the carriage, which are half as long. Furthermore, the outermost flat iron 17 is half as long as the remaining ones.
  • each pair of partial systems form a folding-o ⁇ t and folding-in, shears-like self-supporting structure intended to be folded out and folded in in a dir ⁇ ection substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal dir ⁇ ection of said carriage 1,2, as appears from Figs. 3 and
  • each of said second guiding part ⁇ ial systems 12,13 at least one hose 22 provided with a plur ⁇ ality of nozzles 21 or the like is located for spreading water, which hoses 22 are connected to said connection hose 3.
  • the said two self-supporting beam systems 4-,5 are attached to a yoke 23 or the like, which extends substantially in vertical direction.
  • the beam systems are hingedly attached to the lower portion 24 of the yoke 23 by means of flanges 25 or the like, which are provided with holes and intended to co-operate with the bolts 18.
  • the beam systems 4,5, thus, are interconnected by said yoke 23.
  • the yoke 23 is hingedly suspended at its upper portion 26 on said carriage 1 ,2 by means of an axle 27 extending in the longitudinal direction of the carriage, or in a similar way, which axle 27 or corresponding member, corresponding to a point of suspension for the yoke 23 and beam systems 4,5, is located considerably above the gravity centre of the beam systems 4,5 and yoke 23, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • axle 27 or corresponding member corresponding to a point of suspension for the yoke 23 and beam systems 4,5, is located considerably above the gravity centre of the beam systems 4,5 and yoke 23, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • two columns 28 or the like are rigid ⁇ ly attached on the carriage, as shown schematically in Figs. 1 and 3.
  • the ramp with said beam systems 4,5 maintains a substantially horizontal alignment even when the carriage, due to, for example, unevennesses of the surface, on which the carriage is advanced, is turned in relation to a vertical plane which is in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the carr ⁇ iage.
  • the folding-out and folding-in of the two beam systems 4,5 of the ramp preferably is carried out in a driven manner.
  • a gear ring 29 is located on the pipe length 15 of each of said partial systems attached to the yoke 23.
  • the gear ring 29 is located in connection to the attachment point of the pipe length on the yoke 23 and intended to co-act with a driven gearwheel 30 on the shaft 31 of a motor (not shown) which preferably is located on the yoke 23.
  • the mode of operation of the irrigation ramp according to the present invention substantially should have become app ⁇ arent from the above description.
  • the ramp On its transport, the ramp preferably is folded in, Fig. 5, and is then very compact.
  • the two beam systems of the ramp are folded out ,whereby also the hoses 22 are folded out, and irrigation is carried out, as shown schematically in Fig. 3, while the carriage is advanced in a direction subst ⁇ antially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the beam systems.
  • the invention provides an irrigation ramp, which does not show the disadvantages of conventional ramps. Due to the design comprising a partial system dimensioned for carrying each "ramp arm" and a small lightweight partial system for guiding the carrying system in the shears-structure, a substantial self-supporting length can be obtained and, thus, a large surface can be irrigated simultaneously.
  • the ramp * also can be folded out and in rapidly and simply,, whereby extensive and tedious mounting work is avoided.
  • the ramp is maintained horizontal even when the carriage heels over, and thereby the outer ends of the ramp are prevented from striking on the ground or crop. This im ⁇ plies also that the requirements on construction works, courses etc, for advancing the carriage are relatively moderate, if any. _

Abstract

Rampe d'irrigation permettant d'irriguer des champs, et pouvant avancer sur le champ en montant cette rampe sur un chariot (1, 2) ou autre et étant connectée via ce chariot (1, 2) à un réseau d'alimentation d'eau. La rampe se caractérise en ce qu'elle comprend deux systèmes de poutres identiques auto-portants (4, 5) l'un de chaque côté du chariot (1, 2) dans le sens longitudinal, chaque système de poutre (4, 5) comprenant un premier système porteur partiel (6, 7) constitué de longueurs de tube (8) ou autre. Ces longueurs de tube sont reliées de manière articulée bout (9) à bout (9) dans une rangée l'une après l'autre et de manière pivotante les unes par rapport aux autres, et au chariot (1, 2) dans un plan horizontal. Chaque système de poutre (4, 5) comprend également un second système de guidage partiel (12, 13) correspondant au premier système (6, 7) mais étant constitué de longueurs de barres de fer plates (14) ou autre. Le premier système partiel (6, 7) et le second système partiel (12, 13) sont reliés de manière articulée l'un à l'autre de manière centrale sur les longueurs (8, 14) et sont reliés de manière articulée au chariot, de sorte que les systèmes partiels forment ensemble une structure auto-portante en forme de cisaille s'ouvrant et se refermant. Chaque système de poutre (4, 5) est destiné à porter un tuyau (22) pourvu d'une pluralité d'ajutages (21) d'arrosage d'eau. Un autre trait caractéristique est que les systèmes de poutre (4, 5) sont situés sur un joug (23) et sont reliés à ce dernier, lequel joug est suspendu de manière articulée sur le chariot à l'aide d'un axe (27) s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal du chariot, lequel axe (27) est situé sensiblement au-dessus du centre de gravité des systèmes de poutre (4, 5) et du joug (23), de sorte que la rampe avec les systèmes de poutre (4, 5) garde un alignement horizontal même lorsque le chariot est incliné.
