Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an orchard,
The present invention relates to a portable oscillating water sprinkler capable of performing control and water spraying, spraying water in a horizontal or horizontal direction in a circular or fan shape in a field such as a golf course or a field, and performing control.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, control work in an orchard is performed manually by drawing a spray hose or by using a speed sprayer having a chemical solution tank, a power sprayer, an engine, a nozzle and the like arranged on a traveling machine body. In the meantime, the chemicals were sprayed from nozzles to control the insects. Sprinklers have been used to spray water on large fields such as golf courses and fields, and boom sprayers and the like have been used for control.

[0003]

However, when performing control in an orchard, if the orchard is large, manual work requires a great deal of labor, and in a pest control operation using a traveling control device such as a speed sprayer, it is possible to run. Limited to the orchard. Also, when sprinklers are used for watering large fields such as golf courses and fields, it is necessary to install sprinklers in advance. In doing so, it was necessary to remove or avoid the sprinkler and piping. Therefore, in addition to the horizontal rotation of the sprinkler in the horizontal direction, by swinging the sprinkler in the vertical direction, the sprinkler can be scattered up, down, left and right, and upward. At
The inertial force due to the sprinkler's own weight and the reaction force due to the spouting water become larger than the force that causes the sprinkler to swing upward due to the water pressure. In some cases, the rotation speed of the roller decreases, and the rotation speed in the downward direction increases, resulting in uneven distribution. Thus, the present invention seeks to minimize the inertial force due to the weight of the sprinkler as much as possible.

[0004]

The present invention uses the following means in order to solve the above problems. That is, the swing case D is swingable at a set angle about the first axis P in the left-right direction, and the sprinkler 14 is disposed on the swing case D, and the sprinkler is attached to the first axis P. On the other hand, a cam 46 serving as a swing angle setting member of the sprinkler 14 is provided on a swing case so as to swing at a set angle about a second axis Q in a direction perpendicular to the center.

During the sprinkling, the sprinkler 1
4 is required to be located at the top dead center (at positions other than the top dead center, the sprinkler 14 is inclined and
When rotated by 60 °, the liquid is discharged downward toward the ground), and a detent mechanism 40 is provided between the bearing case 10 and the swing case D. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the bearing case 10L (10R) and the sprinkler case 11
(Gear case 12), the bearing case 1
A concave portion 40a into which the ball is fitted is formed on the inner peripheral surface of 0L,
The spring 40b and the ball 40c are arranged in the sprinkler case 11, and are arranged so that the ball 40c fits into the concave portion 40a in accordance with the position where the sprinkler 14 is located at the top dead center. However, this detent force is smaller than the torque for rotating the water wheel 23 and rotating the sprinkler case 11.

The upper portion of the sprinkler case 11 forms a concave portion 11a to form a plane for mounting the sprinkler 14. An insertion hole communicating with the water supply chamber C is opened at the center of the concave portion 11a. The base pipe 15 is screwed. In this way, the sprinkler 14 is arranged as close as possible to the first axis P, so that the inertia moment during vertical swing and the reaction force due to discharge are reduced.

Next, the structure of the sprinkler 14 is shown in FIG.
3 and FIG. A shaft 41a at the lower part of the main body 41 is rotatably fitted on the base pipe 15, and the shaft 41
a spring 42 is interposed on the main body 4.
1 is urged at a constant pressure so as not to rotate. A nozzle 16 is disposed in the middle of the main body 41 so as to be discharged to the side at a set angle above a horizontal plane.

Further, on the upper portion of the main body 41, a gate-shaped support portion 4 is provided.
1b, a pivotal shaft 41c coinciding with the second axis Q is provided at the center of the support portion 41, and a reaction arm 43 is rotatably supported on the pivotal shaft 41c. It is urged to rotate toward the nozzle 16 by a spring 47 fitted on the outer periphery, and is stopped by the support portion 41b. One end of the reaction arm 43 is extended to the outlet of the nozzle 16 and provided with a guide portion 43a for taking in a part of the liquid to be discharged and guiding it as shown by an arrow in FIG.
The weight 43b is fixed, and a contact portion 43c is formed below the weight 43b. In the related art, the main body 41 and the reaction arm 43 and the like are made of metal.
The weight can be reduced by configuring the main body 3 or the reaction arm 43 and the reaction arm 43 with a synthetic resin, and the inertia force due to the weight can be reduced.

The restricting body 44 is pivotally supported by a pivot 48 projecting from the side of the main body 41, and a restricting plate 44a at one end (right side in FIG. 13) of the restricting body 44 is provided with a rotation restricting protruding from the side of the main body. The other end is inserted between the pins 50U and 50D.
3c extends downward. A lever arm 49 is further pivotally supported on the pivot shaft 48. A regulating rod 49a at one end of the lever arm 49 is inserted between the rotation regulating pins 50U and 50D. Switching lever 45
Is rotatably mounted and protruded downward, and pivotally supports a rod 51 at the other end of the lever arm 49.
The other side is slidably inserted into the regulating body 44, and a spring 52 is fitted between the regulating bodies 44 on the rod 51.

The cams 46 and 46 (FIG. 3) serve as members for setting the rotation angle on the upper surface of the concave portion 11a of the sprinkler case 11 on the rotation locus about the second axis Q of the switching lever 45. ) Are arranged. This cam 46
46 is fixed on the plane on the sprinkler case 11 on the same circumference centered on the axis Q, at the position where the switching lever 45 contacts, and sets the rotation angle (θ2) of the sprinkler 14. I have. This cam 46 has a long hole 46a.
Are opened and fixed by screws, so that the rotation angle can be changed by changing the fixing position of the long hole. Conventionally, an arm corresponding to a cam is connected to a sprinkler 14.
Because it was provided on the main body side, it was longer in the vertical direction by the space for mounting. In the present invention, by providing the cam 46 on the sprinkler case 11 side, the height of the sprinkler 14 can be suppressed to be close to the first axis P, and the sprinkler 14 itself has a moment of inertia due to its own weight and a reaction force due to discharge. Has been reduced.

In such a configuration, the switching lever 45
Is in the J position (FIG. 13), a part of the liquid discharged from the nozzle 16 hits the guide portion 43a, and the water pressure causes the reaction arm 43 to oppose the spring 47 in the direction of arrow M (4).
3 '). In this position, the position is not hit by the water discharged from the nozzle 16, so that the main body 41 is rotated back to the original position by the force of the spring 47, and the reaction arm 43 hits the support portion 41b and the main body 41 is turned in the N direction by the inertia force. Move. At this time, the main body 41 is braked by the spring 42 fitted to the shaft portion 41a, and can be rotated stably. Then, since the guide portion 43a returns to the original position, the guide portion 43a is again rotated in the M direction by the water discharge pressure.
This operation is repeated, and the main body 41 is gradually rotated rightward.

When the switching lever 45 is rotated in such a manner as to come into contact with the cam 46, the lever arm 49 comes into contact with the rotation regulating pin 50U, and the switching lever 45 stops at the K position. At this time, the regulating rod 49b is pivoted downward so that the rod 51 exceeds the dead center, and the urging force of the spring 52 causes the regulating body 44 to pivot upward and the regulating plate 44 at the other end.
a is rotated downward, abuts against the rotation restricting pin 50D, and stops. When the regulating body 44 pivots upward in this manner, the contact portion 43c of the reaction arm 43 comes into contact with the regulation body 44, and the reaction arm 43 cannot rotate in the M direction due to water discharge. The rotating force in the M direction can rotate the main body 41 in the M direction and rotate the sprinkler 14 in the opposite direction. When the switching lever 45 comes into contact with the cam 46 and is rotated from the K position to the J position, the regulating body 44 is rotated.
Is lowered, and the sprinkler 14 rotates in the N direction. Thus, the reciprocating rotation is repeated. When the switching lever 45 is rotated to the H position, the switching lever 45 cannot contact the cam 46 and does not reverse. Therefore, the switching lever 45 rotates only in the same direction, and rotates the knob 38 to release the relief valve. By opening 35 and fixing the sprinkler 14 in the vertical position, watering work can be performed.
