Description

Rotary irrigation lift.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a lifter of rotary irrigation, of those used in storage tanks of grape, to be traced from the must and the pasta that emerges from the grape in such storage situation, so that by pumping water stacked grape bleeding the entire top hat that is defined in it, in order that the broths do not lose their color

The object of the invention is to achieve irrigation rotating especially the quoted hat, which without the need of means of motorization to achieve said rotary movement, ensure Optimal results.

Background of the invention

As is evident, to get good ones results when it comes to tracing must in a tank or grape storage tank, it is necessary that said must be distribute evenly over the entire upper surface of the grape, that is to say about the "hat" of it. The ski lift is normally performed by means of a pump that extracts the must from the bottom of the tank and that drives it in a closed cycle towards the area superior of the same, where the due distribution must be made to that the ski lift is uniform over the aforementioned hat.

To achieve this homogeneity is used usually a nozzle arranged centrally in the area upper tank, with radial outlet and rotating movement, so that said nozzle sweeps the entire circular surface of the hat continuously, for which it is powered by a moto-reducer group.

The existence of this group moto-reducer as a means of mobilization of tracer brings along with the corresponding costs of investment, a permanent consumption of electrical energy, with the consequent and negative impact at cost level in the context from the cellar.

Trying to ignore this problem are known lifts lacking said moto-reducer group, specifically static, in which the must is pumped up to a vertical pipe with lower drain on a kind of cone, with a proper inclination in your generatrix so that the must in its fall deviate radially affecting in theory simultaneously to the entire surface of the hat.

However, this does not happen in practice since the existence of turbulence of the must in the mentioned pipe causes it to reach the diverter cone unevenly, with what in certain areas of the tank is not irrigated with must the central area of the hat, while in other areas it is concentrated the must that does not reach the tank walls, which brings A faulty ski lift, with negative results.

Description of the invention

The tracer proposed by the invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, constituting a safe, economical and effective.

For this and in a more concrete way the lifter of rotary irrigation proposed by the invention, intended to be installed in the lid of said tank and in centered arrangement, it consists of a fixed entry elbow or conduit, to which it is integral, preferably by screwing, an equally fixed bushing and of vertical arrangement inside the tank, bushing in whose inside a tube is preferably freely rotated, preferably with the collaboration of bearings or bearings, leaving the upper extremity of said tube properly sealed to the elbow or driving in with the collaboration of at least one retainer, and  receiving said tube from its lower limb, protruding with  with respect to the bushing in which it is housed, to a consistent impeller in turn in a second tube, of equal diameter, but instead if it is rectilinear it has two orthogonal couplings and successive, rounded, to finish off in a dump, which remains located in radial arrangement and substantially descending.

According to this structuring the must pumped and coming from the self-emptying tank, at reach the second impeller bending, located in a imaginary horizontal plane, causes a reaction effect in said impeller that rotates the first tube over the bushing in which is mounted and consequently also rotates the pourer, which runs along its radial layout, the 360º corresponding to the tank plant, with a uniform irrigation of said plant or what is the same as the hat of the grapes stored, which are thus perfectly "watered" so homogeneous, maintaining homogeneity at all times in the irrigation because, the higher the flow driven by the pump, the higher the speed of rotation of the impeller, with a correct proportionality between these parameters.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to an elevation view lateral and in partial section, a rotary irrigation lift performed in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows an enlarged detail of the impeller, also according to a side elevation view but turned 90º with respect to that of figure 1.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the lifter that the invention proposes is constituted from an inlet elbow (1), fixed, equipped with coupling means (2) to the tank or tank cover container of the grapes in central arrangement, finishing said elbow (1) by its ends in Walloon paths (3) and (4), of which one of them (3) is intended for fixing by means of flanged the pipe that, with the collaboration of the classic and corresponding pump, supplies the must from the bottom of the tank, while the other (4) is in turn intended for fixing to said elbow (1) of a bushing (5), cylindrical and vertical axis, with the collaboration of a screw (6), standing inside of the bushing (5) a cylindrical tube (7), provided in turn with a upper wall (8) that plays between the wall (4) of the body (1) and that of the bushing (5), with interposition of a retainer (9) that ensures the tightness, but allowing free rotation of the tube (7), at whose effect between it and the bushing (5) bearings (10) are established conveniently distanced from each other.

The tube (7) protrudes substantially by its lower end of the bushing (5), and it is finished off in a wall (11) for fixing to the lower extremity thereof of a impeller (12), shown in detail in Figure 2, provided in turn of a wall (13) fixing to said wall (11), and in whose trajectory two orthogonal couplings are established and rounded (14) and (15), the first on an imaginary plane vertical and the second on an imaginary horizontal plane, of so that the must pumped when hitting the second of the rounded couplings, referenced with (15) and located in the horizontal plane, causes a reaction effect that causes the impeller (12), and consequently the tube (7) associated therewith, turn with a circumferential movement of continuous speed, determined by the flow of the must raid pump.

Finally and as a complement to the structure described, the impeller (12) is finished off by its extreme bull in a second wall (16) through which a pourer is fixed to it (17), which adopts a radial provision and suffers the same cited rotating movement, materialized spout in a kind of gutter, slightly tilted down, as observed perfectly in figure 1, so that the speed with which the must leaves through said pourer or gutter (17), makes this is distributed between the center of the tank and the side wall of the same, that is to say that it is distributed radially, while it is produced a circumferential scan that affects the entire surface or hat of the mass of grapes accumulated inside the tank.

So and according to the essentiality of the invention, a uniform rotary irrigation is achieved, without the need for that a group participate in the lifter moto-reducer, as conventionally happens, taking advantage of the reactive force for the spout mobilization that is generated in the impeller by the own displacement of the must inside it.
