FR2485332A1 - Irrigation feed with watering truck - has truck driven outwards by water turbine using water supplied - Google Patents

Abstract

The large-area irrigation feed comprises a watering trolley supplied via a hose unwound from a drum, and hauled in again by pulling on the hose. The outward drive for the truck is powered by a turbine driven by the water delivered to it, while a reversing control changes over from this to allow hauling in by the irrigation hose. The turbine can be used to drive a winch on a transport truck for the watering truck, the winch rope being reeved round a pulley on a bracket at the far end of the strip of ground to be watered.

Description

PATENT
DEPRAETERE Ghislain and ECOLASSE Guy
Semi-automatic or automatic multi-use sprinkler trolley with different options.

In trade there is watering equipment equipped with a
hose reel arranged perpendicularly
wheel center and placed by tractor at position
unwinding. The gun carriage sled is connected at the end
flexible hose on the reel.

When the sled is hitched to the tractor the flexible hose connected to the sled is unwound on the field. When the water goes in
the pipe it crosses a turbine and rotates the reel.

 Returning to its starting position, the sled will sprinkle a strip of land through the barrel that projects the water.

After having watered the first strip of land it is necessary to move
horn the reel of a few meters on the edge of the field with the
tractor and then repeat the unwinding operation with the same tractor.

This known system has many drawbacks:
1 / The obligation of an external driving force
(tractor) and to unroll the hose with the sprinkler sled
who will only water a strip when he returns.

b / to move the take-up reel.

2 / it is not automatic, i.e. it does not
can act without transport equipment (tractor).

3 / Very heavy and requiring very large power
therefore carrying a very large amount of water.

4 / Decreases the crop density yield
forcing the wheels of the tractor to pass.

5 / With the weight of the tractor the ground is beaten (hard-
ci) does not drink water.

6 / The threshing of the soil in case of sowing as a result of the
amount of water spilled in one pass.

In the employment system by the novelty presented by
the manufactured device we get
1 / Automatic return watering without a
see recourse to anyone from a limited plot between the paragraph
tion in water and the extreme limit where the stake is placed.

2 / Automatic device without the use of a tractor.

a / for moving the sled carriage.

b / for the displacement of the coil at the edge of the ground to be watered, that is to say the water supply for watering another portion of ground.

30 / a / He can water the entire cultivated field without any help from man by removing the cable fixing stake.

A mobile cart will take the place of the stake, the supply point and the mobile point will move at the same time to allow automatic watering.

b / An electro-hydraulic or electrostatic probe system or other system with automatic steering control eliminates the cable and the stake. This probe follows the row of the cultivated furrow or a metallic wire placed in the ground.

(all winch machines allow watering with significant percentage losses without modifying the rainfall.) 4-J By modifying the sprinkler trolley, it is possible to obtain several variants of automatic or semi-automatic watering for small plots. for horticulturalists and market gardeners etc ... for low and high crops (tra @ beau jajeur)
The trolley is constructed in such a way that it allows 9 assembly marians. These assemblies make it possible to obtain different ways of watering which depend on the cultures, the ground of the grounds and the size of the plots. This equipment can equip market gardeners who can gradually buy the assembly systems until the integral automation depends on its possibilities. - financial units.

This sprinkler device for large areas comprises a sprinkler sled carriage supplied with water by a pipe (25) unwound from a reel (3) and the return of which is ensured by means of traction on the pipe ( 25) of supply, the essential characteristic of which is that it has, on the other hand, a movement mechanism for going from a turbine (4) driven by the supply water and a reversing mechanism making it possible to go the order of a tractor mechanism and for the return traction on the garden hose (25).

The tractor mechanism for forward movement is a winch (17) ac-
powered by a turbine 4 carried by a trans transverse carriage
carrier of the sprinkler carriage in the rest phase which pulls a double
cable (16) previously attached to a pulley (61) mounted by
a support (41) placed at the bottom of the plot.

As a variant - the tractor mechanism for forward movement is a r
winch (67) actuated by a turbine (62) carried by the carriage
sprinkler allowing the winding of a flexible cable hung
beforehand on a support (4l) at the bottom of the plot.

In another variant - A fully automatic device includes
nant a tractor mechanism for forward movement consisting of
hydraulic turbine driving the wheels of the trolley (8)
through a differential (86). Said carriage is fitted with steered wheels controlled from feelers
(92) with directional brain (94).

The hose reel traction mechanism (3) for the garden hose
is arranged on the transverse carriage sprinkler carriage holder
in the rest phase and to prevent the supply hose from being processed
of hose 63
only the reel can be placed on the sprinkler carriage.

Said reel 63 is separated into two moon parts intended for
receive the hose 25 of the rigid type which can test
filled with water and the other which can wind up a garden hose
131 flexible wrung out before winding.

This coil can be removable from the support by fixing keys 133 and 136 which makes it possible to interchange the coils easily.

A wringer is provided, consisting of vertical rollers (145) opposite which can be adjusted between them by screws or by notches following the # of the pipe. These vertical rollers are in their upper part
cut into bevels to allow the passage of fittings for connecting pipes. Horizontal rollers
142-143-144 for guidance and turning is further provided
placed on a framework in the same plane spaced according to the dimensions of the # of supply pipes.

The support 41 to be placed at the bottom of the plot consists of a stake provided with a stop (22) allowing the control of the stopping of the
sprinkler trolley (par 47). This same stake has a hook
(55) allowing the attachment of a ring (56) fixed to the cable (16) e @
or to the return pulley (61)).

The sprinkler carriage carries on its front part a sliding support arm (58) making it possible to follow the cable 16 and to direct the carriage by at least one grooved wheel (57) serving as a means of detaching the cable (16) or the pulley (61 ?.

The device for controlling the reversing mechanism is arranged on the front part of the sprinkler carriage intended to be actuated by the stopper (22) of the stake placed at the top of the plot, causing the temporary shutdown of a valve for supplying the cannons ( 91) which creates a water hammer on a meibranne (44) which forms a piston * this membrane (44) pushes a lever (43) which disengages the winch (I7) and engages the hose reel (3).

The winding stop mechanism is provided on the transverse carriage constituted by a stopper (31) which pushes a lever 40 successively controlling: the stopping of the reel which winds the supply pipe, cuts the feeding of the guns 1Q or other on the rear trolley connected by the valve 32. the water supply to the sprinkler guns (33-34) mounted on the transverse trolley thus makes it possible to rotate the turbine (4), the supply of the jack (50> to raise the platform (29) supporting the sprinkler carriage, the mechanical connection of the turbine (4) driving the wheels of the transverse carriage via the shaft (38).

The sprinkler trolley is made up of different supports and accessories that can be placed according to demand to obtain a semi-automatic sprinkling device up to full automation. The carriage is rotted with a support formed by two arms t70) to receive the coil placed parallel to the axes of the wheels, by another support (87) to receive a winch placed parallel to the axes of the wheels (8) towards the axis , a third support to receive a reduction gear, an automatic speed variator, a clutch with reverser placed between the reel and the winch, a sprinkler gun support or ramp placed on the chassis of the carriage towards the upper part.

A low support (71) makes it possible to place a ramp or micco-jet on the lower part to allow watering of the feet and to distribute liquid fertilizers.

A support for the drive turbine and its supply bypass on the lower part of the sprinkler carriage.

The arms 9 and 79 of the supports for the front and rear and steering controls comprise the control rods: buffers (47 and @ 0) pulleys 57 for steering or throat lug and automatic attachment system (55),
The chassis of the sprinkler carriage (7) has holes (104) on the front part of the side members allowing after the removal of the wheels before the coupling of a mini-tractor or tiller.

The barrel feed tube carried by the sprinkler cart is movable around the feed axis by mounting a swivel joint (48). The barrel support tube is integral with a lever (26) whose orientation is ensured by a stop placed on one of the wheels (8) of the sprinkler carriage.

This system allows watering always backwards opposite to the movement.

on the chassis of the transverse carriage a support (1) is mounted consisting of arms on which is placed the coil (3) of winding placed perpendicular to the axes of the wheels (2), supports for the turbine (4) the reducer ( 5) the variator (6) the reversing clutch (19), the winch support as well as the platform support - 29 for transporting the sprinkler sled carriage, a canyon support 33 and 34 sprinkler or boom which operates when the carriage transverse conveyor moves the sprinkler carriage, a support for the winding reel stop system.

There are two barrels (10) their elements are placed one above the other with an angle adjustment (122) between them by rotation and screw of bl @@@ ge on a metal part with an arc of a circle E controlled automatically by eernple by a piston displaced by the spraying pressure making it possible to obtain that the two jets at a well determined distance meet and form by the power of encounter a mist of fine droplets 412).

The transverse feed carriage has a movement control for stopping constituted by an automatic distance-regulating counter system (36) or by a stop placed on the ground which acts on a lever which opens the valve 35 which reduces the pressure. The pressure reduction stops the supply pump via a monostat.

It can be placed on the sprinkler trolley or transverse displacement a tank equipped with a die - distribution system; liquid fertilizer placed under the sprinkler carriage placed on the support (105) and consisting of a nozzle for mixing water and fertilizer which is sucked into a tank distributed by q foot or spray sprinklers drop by drop.

The speed of rotation of the drive turbine 62 is controlled by a valve (80) placed on a bypass which is controlled by a lever (11) ending in a feeler roller (111) which presses on the winding of the hose on the coil (63).

 ae mounting allows to act and regulate the winding speed of the coil by acting on the amount of water passing through the turbine and thereby regulates the speed of advancement of the sprinkler carriage.

To obtain assistance 8 driving the sprinkler carriage by increasing the traction on the garden hose, it will be placed at the outlet of the supply coil disposed on the transverse carriage of the rollers (74) operating by pressure on the hose which will pull on it to help the unwinding.

In some cases the axis of the coil is fitted with a screw reducer (831 allowing the winding to be flexible by PTO of a tractor or a hydraulic motor which operates on the oil pressure take-off Commercial tractors allowing the hose to be wound on the spool in the event of a breakdown or at the tee.

Each watering stop will operate an alarm, for example a buzzer or whistle, by a liquid vacuum switch to warn the user.

The sprinkler carriage can be fitted with a stand assembly to raise the chasis with respect to the wheel axles as a function of the height of the plants to be watered and in that the adjustment of the spacing of the wheels arranged with a cat of the carriage is obtained by hollow shafts sliding one inside the other allowing the adjustment of the position of the reel in the center distance of the planted soils that the pipe is not unwound on the cultivated plants.

DESCRIPTION - BOARD 1 1 - On a support I united of several wheels (2) there is placed a winding reel (3) and a supply pipe (25) fitted with a low pressure turbine (4) and low flow paddle or paddle type with deflector avoiding the loading doors and water slowing.

This turbine (4) is a torque of the reduction gear (5) and the speed variator (6). This assembly is supplied by a coil which remains at the edge of the plot which will unroll its pipe (46).

A sled carriage (7) with movable wheels (8) orientable front and rear allowing automatic driving with direction correction by the front and rear arm (9) over which the cable (I6) passes on one side and the pipe ( 25) on the other.

- two guns (10) placed on the sled carriage (7) having positions adjustable in angle, one lower than the other in the same direction which has the advantage of obtaining a meeting of the two jets powered by the other and makes it possible to divide the water into fine particles to obtain a valid and efficient watering by the automatic adjustment (122) by pressure.

4 @ A stake (41) with pulley (61) which will be placed at the end of the plot to be sprayed with respect to the moving supply coil (3).

5 - The flexible hose (25) connected to one end of the carriage (7) and the supply coil (3) which remains on the edge of the plot.

6 - A cable (16), one end of which is hung on the carriage (7) sled passes through the pulley (61) fixed on the post (41) passes through the carriage, the other end of which is fixed to the reel (17) of the winch. This winch works by the turbine (4) and is fixed on the frame of the water supply coil.

7 - The reel (17) of the cable (16) which is connected to the axis of the winch.

8 / The winch has a control 18 which can coast it through a @@ clutch (19).

8Bis - the clutch (i9) is coupled by pinion or chain to a gear or pinion (17).

9 - The treail (17) with "actylo" or other gear driven by the turbine (4) by means of an variator (6) with an oil pulley or the like which is connected by the clutch (19) with chains or belts 13 and 14.

10 / The autonomy of the winding for the return of the carriage (sled) is effected by the system of a stop (22) placed on the fixing of the frame (21) of the pulley (61) to the end of the field to be watered.

This stop lever (22) controls the closing of a valve (9) by the supply stopper (47), placed on the front of the carriage which produces an increase in pressure which displaces a piston (24) which disengages the winch (19). This pressure com.asn e allows the winch (17) to be turned into a crazy pulley and simultaneously connects the turbine (4) to the reel of the water supply coil (3) by moving the pinion, a chain or a strap.

11 / When the carriage (7) returns by pulling the supply pipe (25) a control lever (26) blocked by an axis 27 when the wheels (8) return from the carriage (sled) and moves the barrels (10) to the rear of a half-turn by a lever (28) and the rotary couplings (48).

Indeed to obtain a good watering it is always necessary to water contrary to the displacement and also so as not to wet too much the passage of the wheels of the carriage.

12 / The same operation will be performed when the carriage leaves the supply reel.

13 / The rigid or flexible supply hose (25) pulls on the carriage (7) and brings it close to the supply coil or waits for a platform (29) on which the sled will be stored.

14 / When the carriage (7) is close to the spool (3) on the displacement platform (29), it abuts by means of the slider (30) on the control (31) of the valve (32) two-way which cuts the supply of the barrel (10) of the carriage (sled) mpbile and connects the cannons placed on the supply coil 33 and 34.

15 / The water while changing direction in the barrels t33-34) feeds through the pipe (20) a jack (50) with its lever t49) or other system which pushes the articulated platform which lifts and will avoid the planing of the soil during the advancement of the support (I) and the spool (3).

The transmission (31) controls the valve (32) as well as the lever (40). The lever (40) disengages the turbine from the supply coil and sets it to freewheeling and simultaneously connects the driving wheels of the mobile support (1) by the transmission (38>.

The wheels (2) of the mobile support are driven by the wheel shaft (39) and by the transmission (38) by means of a bevel gear or chain (45).

 16 / When the supply coil (3) on its support has made the commanded route, it will stop either I / by the automatic distance adjuster (36) counter 2 / by a stop placed on the ground or by a volumetric shut-off valve which will open the valve (35) and by vacuum the supply pump will go into safety until the driver comes on foot or on a bicycle to restart the cricuit. The simplest of the controls is to have a stop placed on the ground by the driver who will act on a lever (37) and open the valve (35).

17 / The driver will put the stake (41) the pig or other fastening system in the position of a new watering, hang the cable on the stake (41) or other, close the stop valve (35) put the pump back Operating.

The security (42) with its elastic wall (44) which deforms when the valve cuts the supply takes the pressure, which will prevent any bursting of the pipe.

When the driver puts the pump back into operation, the safety (42) provided with a lever (43) fixed to the membrane (44) connects the clutch (19) the turbine (4) to the winch (17) which roll up the cable and move the sled carriage (7) to the stake (41).

The spring (53) moves the control lever 31 and cuts off the movement of the barrels 33 and 34).

Construction variant with improved power of the sprinkler system. The turbine (4) which works at low pressure being slightly reduced and the latter also being used for watering, an additional power allowing any drop in pressure is b * - harmful for the watering efficiency of the system.

To obtain this result and especially to water very large plots, it is preferable to use an independent oil pressure. The pressure of this fluid makes it possible to turn a hydraulic turbine to tow the support carriage (1) as well as the sprinkler sled. This hydraulic pressure can
operate at pressures from 300 to 400 bar and would be supplied by a hydraulic unit operating with the same motor as the pumping or by an auxiliary motor.

OPERATION - (See plate 8).

The mobile support (1) is provided with wheels (2) on which is placed the coil (3) which is connected and connected by the supply line to the supply coil by the hose (46)
When the voice coil will advance the feed coil hose
mentation will take place and therefore will follow the pipe which
will feed it.

In the case of a fixed point the operator will place the other ex
end of the field the stake (41) and connect the pulley (61)
and the cable (16) which is hooked to the sprinkler sled 7 and
its other end to the winch reel (17).

When the feed pump is running, water will pass into
the turbine which will operate the winch (17) which will wind
the cable and pull it on the sled (7).

The sled will unroll the pipe (25) which feeds the cannons
(10) that it carries.

When the rod is at the end of its journey it will come up against the
stopper (22) which will close the valve (91) and will give into the cana
read a water hammer which by force will push the piston
(24) which will reverse the roles, that is to say that the winch becomes freewheel and that the reel will pull the sled by the in
end of the hose which will wind (25).

When the sleigh takes the way back a system of
lever controlled by the wheels of it will rotate the ca
let's go backwards because you always have to reverse water
displacement. When the sled has arrived at its position
departure it will be placed on the plate then will abut on the stopper
(31) by the stop (30). The stop '30) will command through
diary of t-ansmission lever t40) disengaging the coil
which will coast and then activate the valve (32) which
will feed the cannons (33 (34) placed on the support of the bobi
do (1).

The lever (40) has a second function, i.e. controlling
the wheels (2) of the support (1) which will move by the energy of
the water turbine.

The complete stop will be made by a counter (36) which will open the van
which will let the water run outside and which will allow
abruptly decrease the pressure that will act on the pressure meter
the pump which will cut off the power to the electric motor or
other. On the city water network or other the valve will close it
and the pressure increase will act on the pressure switch (closing
by spring release jack).

The driver will be notified by a bell (whistle). This one
put back the stake and start the maneuver again and put the
pump running.

Several variants may title necessary by transforming
the sled carriage, depending on its use.

likely to make the sprinkler carriage (7) support a turbine (62) connected to a reduction gear (65) itself placed on a variator (66). This variator (66) turns a winch (67)
by means of a reverse clutch (69).
(69) is controlled by a rigid control (60) which by shock
of the meeting with the stake stop (41) or the darrAt cable
(22) disengages the winch (67).
the rigid control (60) pivots the valve (91) which blocks and
stops the water supply and causes a water hammer which
acts on the membrane (44) and the lever (43) which engages the supply coil (3) It board which winds the pipe and pulls
on the trolley which sprinkles until blocked against the platform
(29).

Immediately the sprinkler trolley is raised from the ground by the platform
the feed cart advances while watering with cannons 33-34 until the next stop.

This system has the advantage of avoiding:
I / A cable (16) of double length in the case of a pulley.

2 / An automatic unhooking of the cable on the stake or on a
cable stop by having a steering pulley (57)
which goes under the hook (55) and unhooks the ring or the like (56).

3 / In this case, the user does not wind the cable at low
re.

4 / When the user has to put the sprinkler trolley on
velle place ildev @@ tighten the ring, unroll the cable and ledc-
hook on the hook, then start the pump.

 VARIANT N0 3 - Plate n @ 3.

The assembly of the trolley allows a completely automatic use.
tick ie the winch with its cable (16) is not
used. The turbine is connected to the ro @ es of the trolley
sprinkler system by a transmission (85) chain, tree or other by means of a differential (I06) which propels it to the opposite side of the carriage from the supply reel (see plate 10).

For the direction of the sled carriage, it is equipped with an electronic or other sensor (92) which probes the plants planted in a furrow or a metallic wire placed in or on the ground.

The purpose of this feeler (92) is to follow the smallest change in direction of the plant path with the carriage.

The probe (92) controls the electronic, hydraulic or other box (93) which electrically or hydraulically transmits the signal to the control of the automatic: automatic box (94) which. acts on the direction of the wheels.

At the other end of the plot, he stretched one or more wires horizontally over the stakes (4i). When the stopper (47) strikes the wire, the latter controls the lever (90) which temporarily cuts off the valve (91). Following the erireture of the valve, the water hammer acts on the membrane 44 (bag 1) which acts on the lever (43) which engages the coil (3) which winds the pipe (25) which pulls and brings back the sprinkler sled carriage.

The carriage is steered by guide wheels (51) which follow the feed pipe (25). when the sled is near the reel carriage i supply (3) it goes up on the platform abuts on the stopper (30) which controls the stop of the reel, the watch of the platform and the start of the @ together to another watering point.

For very large installations with large or very long hoses which are very heavy and very difficult to transport, the trolley is equipped with pallet streets (8) which are towing

The supply coil board 1 is equipped with a hose unwinding system to help the sled to advance slowly by pulling on the hose. The flexible supply coil is coasted, the hose (25) is caught between rollers.

Then this roller clutch connected to the turbine (4) pulls on the pipe by pressure with rollers whose pressure is regulated by a centrifugal force system. This centrifugal force makes it possible to act with more or less pressure and is produced by a roller placed between the roller clutch and the sprinkler carriage.

ALTERNATIVE 4 - BOARD 4 - on the carriage there is placed on the reel support (70) a reel having two compartments (board 15
fig. 1). One of the boxes will receive a semi-rigid hose the other a flexible hose wrung after service by a roller wringer
(89) (see operation on board 11). This coil can be easily placed or removed from its support. It can be connected or disconnected automatically by two keys (136 plate 15 fig.1) for the use of the screw reducer for winding the flexible or rigid pipe.

With the part of the reel (63) provided with a semi-rigid polyethilene trolley pipe will go back and forth with the help of a cable (16) which will be hung on a stake placed at the end of the pressurized water source. This winch (67) animated by a turbine (61) works with the water used to water. When it will be at the end of the plot the buttera cart on the stopper (22) of the stake (41) pig or other which will allow to control the winch is stopped by the control (60) and the connection of the coil which will wind the semi-rigid pipe. This stake (41) is manufactured with a hook (54) which allows the lever (58) to release a ring (56) which releases the cable (I6) and connects the coil (63) which winds the pipe which pulls the carriage which is directed by the wheels (53) locked on the supply pipe (25). The sprinkler carriage pulled by the hose will go back to the water supply. When the sprinkler carriage will be at its starting point the carriage will come up against a lever 96 which will open a valve (95) placed on a rigid base G82) which by vacuum will shut off the pump motor
ALTERNATIVE 4 - The trolley as described allows semi-automatic watering. In fact the user must move the cart to another place on the plot, pull on the cable, hang it on the stake and put into operation the pump which supplies the turbine which winds the cable and in fact pulls and advances the cart sled. .

To make it completely automatic it is possible to do this: 10 / By moving the carriage on its return by the use of a similar feeding carriage (planchel) without obviously the feeding reel.

 2 * / Just as it would be possible for this carriage to add an automatic steering blower similar to the variant (3a plate 3.

VARIANT 5 - By its construction board 15 Fig. 1) the other box of the coil (63) support with flexible pipe 2nd case allows to have a pipe of larger diameter which has higher flow rates. The use is different than with a rigid pipe.

 Plate 12 - see pressure water supply figure.

The water intake point being in the middle of the plot of the cul
ture to water, the hose (16) is connected to the water pipe
under pressure. The flexible hose is unwound to one of the ex
field hoppers, the end of the pipe is connected to the
sprinkler carriage on connector 103.The user pulls the cable placed on the winch (67) places it on the hook (55)
stake (41) when the water passes the flexible hose inflates, ali
lies the turbine (62) of the carriage which operates the winch
(67) which pulls on the cable and advances the sprinkler carriage
towards the stake (4). The hose drags on the ground and sprinkles twice
ae at length. s and the sledge hits the stake 41, that
ci via the stopper (58) unhooks the ring 56 from the hook (55) and the cable is withdrawn from the stake (41) and the stopper
(47) stops the winch via the clutch and down
the valve (91) opens the water circuit and stops the pump
by the depressiometer. The user comes to wind the sou pipe
ple on the coil box by the special screw reducer
continuous and flexible winding (83) which is actuated by the plug
mechanical strength of a tractor or tiller. The hose is esso
re by the roller wringer (89) board 15 fig. 2 and 3.This
wringer consists of two vertical rollers (145),
well defined shape for the passage of the fittings, placed in o
adjustable and adjustable, they can approach or move away with
an adjustment allowing the passage of the flexible hose of different
thickness.

Before the vertical rollers it is placed to improve the front
cement of the pipe filled with water a horizontal roller 142.

After the two vertical wringer rollers it is placed two
horizontal rollers 143 and 144 which rotate the pipe called.

half a turn so that it is in the winding position
on coil 63. The distance between 145 and 144 depends on the diaxb-
be pipes.

The sprinkler carriage is moved to the other end, the spool
is rewound again then connected to the carriage and to the source
pressurized water. The cable (16) is unwound and placed on the
stake (41) which itself has been moved and the set leaves for
a new route by watering the plants.

The advantage of this arrangement is to water land with soil
is very flexible non-carrying, this sprinkler assembly is very low
and very light.

Advantage of the double case coil - it allows you to have both cases: I / The flexible hose 2 / The rigid hose on the same sprinkler carriage and brings an advantage which is unknown to date: it allows to settle several problems of @ irrigation with the same material. The use of the system is effective, it allows to have the double length of watering for a determined length of hose, to have a low operating pressure which takes a very low energy. The semi-rigid polyethilene pipe can be used with the same device for shorter plots but has the advantage of less wear of the supply pipe and needs a higher pressure, hence higher energy. The two hoses can be used with the same pump. This use allows you to place on the cart: I / plastic cannons, 20 / small cannons on a ramp, 3 / large ramp with burnisher. All these devices can be used thanks to pressure adjustment on the turbine regulation.

ALTERNATIVE 6 - Holes 104 for fixing are reserved for mooring a tiller. This one hooked by an axis with pins after removing the wheel (78) will allow the displacement and winding of the flexible hose of variant 5 by the PTO (83). This assembly can be very useful for the farmer (movement between watering plots or simply for movement during watering.

What is said for tillers is possible for mini tractors.

VARIANT 7 - This system makes it possible to obtain different variants (See Plate 5). The tiller is secured by a pinned axle
on the chassis (7) holes (I04) of the sprinkler trolley by an articulated hook 126 which can be locked by a line pin of the trolley after removing the wheel or the two rear wheels -78 @
The steering wheel or the steering system of this tiller or mini-tractor is connected to the front wheels (8) of the carriage by a shaft 109 with a cardan shaft 125. The cutting-off screw (99) is placed towards the front of the carriage towards the system directional.

Operation (Plate 13) the driver may or may not water by moving the engine assembly.

The cahle 16 is placed on the stake 41 by means of the ring (56). The semi-rigid pipe is connected to the source of pressurized water by the 116 double-way valve
The motorized cultivator or other machine and the trolley is placed in the working line. The driver moves the hitch to the other end of the field. The driver opens the valve 101 the water passes the turbine (69) turns, the shaft 109 acts on the wheels of the cultivator which advances by watering by unrolling the pipe (25) and brings the hitch back to the starting point, a wheel 117 placed on the pipe directs the assembly.

Variant 7 - plate 6 and plate 14
To obtain a return watering the probe 112 directs the hitch towards the end of the plot while watering.

When the probe 112 abuts on a metal wire, this sprinkles the assembly and by an electromagnet reverses the clutch towards the cable winch (67) and stops the traction of the wheels, then pulls on the carriage and brings it back all by spraying on the back (I / 2 system around the barrel) the return direction is ensured by a wheel placed on the supply pipe t It should be noted that in small installations the pipe can be used to bring the carriage back to its starting point.

In this case we remove the winch (67). when the carriage abuts on the stake (41) the stop (47) disengages the winch and cuts the water on the barrels and stops the coupling.

The user removes the pin from the articulated hook blocking and allows it with the cultivator or the like to put it in position for another watering.

The assembly is identical to variant 6, but empty or full flexible hoses are used. The tiller is secured by a pin pin on the chassis (7). 1 / to make a flexible hose flat during storage, it will be passed through a wringer (89) consisting of ten vertical rollers and three horizontal ones (see plate 15 fig.

2 and 3). 2 / For the full son-in-law swollen by water which has the advantage of obtaining a storage identical to the semi-rigid pipe, and has the advantage of being less damaged during its flow as well as during storage.

To obtain the filling it is necessary to mount on the pipe at the start a non-return valve 127 of water t on the upright of the barrel an electrostatic valve 121 operating on the battery of the motor cultivator or mini-tractor.

Operation - identical to plate 12.

1 / case of flexible hose not swollen by water. The user places the stake 41, hooks the ring 56 on the hook 55. The driver mounts the motor cultivator or mini-tractor starts it and places the winch in neutral, it unrolls the cable to the middle of the ground connected by passing the hose over the water source under intake. He continues on his way by unrolling cable and hose on the leir
When he reaches the end of the plot, he stops and goes down
the craft. The driver blocks the articulated hook (126) branch
the other end of the pipe on the fitting 103 then opens the valve
(81) which powers the turbine and the motor cultivator or other assembly
and the truck goes back to the starting point pulled by the cable 16
by pulling the flexible hose up to the stake.

The advantage of this system is to obtain double watering for
half the length of pipe is less important.

2 / Case of the hose swollen by water (flexible hose) its use is
identical to the semi-rigid pipe (variant (6) it has the advantage of
be able to carry a flow rate which is sometimes double that of myself
rigid pipe for an equal outside diameter.

VARIANT 8 - plate 7 - The trolley can be used and beech adapted from one
ne turbine (62) a reducer (69) which is connected and connected to an rd-
screw driver (83). This reducer allows two functions: I / the
rolling of the flexible hose with a PTO of a mo tractor
t @ - cultivator or other for a new watering location, 2 /
the automatic winding of a semi-rigid garden hose by
the energy of a turbine (62) being connected by shaft, chain or other
to the axis of the coil by rapid system (pins).

Operation of rigid pipe with a mini-tractor tiller or
other, we unroll the pipe then by watering the trolley (7) comes back
to its first position following the garden hose.

ALTERNATIVE 9 - In some cases it is useful to offset the pipe by
compared to the row planted for this, the wheel axles must be lengthened.

To obtain this assembly it is possible to fix a hollow shaft
with a clip system to obtain a carriage of a
wheel base extendable all O.IO.

ALTERNATIVE 10 - In the case of watering the foot it is useful to know
raise the trolley from the ground, it is provided in the mounting of the crutches to adjust the height of the chassis relative
worn on the ground every 0.10cm. which prevents the planing of the plants
during watering.

VARIANT 11 - To obtain a watering of the foot and to avoid watering
leaves in some cultures, it is placed on the in part.

lower of the chassis (under the chassis) a support (105) allowing
fix a ramp on which adjustable micro-jets are installed
in height, width and flow. This assembly allows you to enjoy
foot watering to distribute necessary liquid fertilizers
res to the plant.These fertilizers are distributed through
a volumetric injector incorporated into the circuit after
the turbine bypass, it operates by pressure or
water depression without the use of electricity.

Liquid fertilizer is stored by a tank
(97) fixed by a support (9R) on the chassis of the carriage. Fixed her
tion of this set is made by pins or bolts. These micro-jets replace the classic drip without having the disadvantage of it which remains in place, throughout the culture and requires a large workforce to place it
and move it, Our system is a mobile drip with
fertilization controlled automatically. This system is very popular with users.
