Description

Automatic fertilization and reagent system using a sprinkler {A SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC MANURING AND MEDICINE DISPENSING USING A SPRINKLER}

The present invention relates to an automatic fertilization and reagent system using a sprinkler, and in particular, by allowing the irrigation water mixed with fertilizer and / or medicament to be sprayed through the head of the sprinkler, the time and cost of fertilization and / or reagents The present invention relates to an automatic fertilization and reagent system using a sprinkler which not only significantly reduces the amount of water but also enables the uniform application of fertilizers or medicaments to the object.

A sprinkler is a device that pressurizes irrigation water, pumps water, and sprays water from the drains or fountains. Such sprinklers are widely used for water supply in large farming areas or golf courses.

The sprinkler is connected to a plurality of branch pipes as necessary to the main pipe connected to the pump for pressurization, one end of the branch pipes displayed on the ground is equipped with a watering device or a water fountain.

Therefore, the irrigation water is discharged at a high pressure from the main pipe to the plurality of branch pipes by the pressure generated in the pump, and the irrigation water is configured to be sprayed through the sprinkler or the water fountain device displayed on the ground.

In addition, when fertilizing, that is, when fertilizing or reagents, that is, when giving pesticides in a large farming complex or golf course, a separate equipment is used. In the case of a golf course, for example, a tank is loaded in a loading box of a mobile vehicle, and each fertilizer or pesticide is sprayed using a spray device coupled with the tank while moving each hole.

At golf courses, etc., fertilization and reagents are applied depending on the development and management conditions of the grass or the natural environment around them, and the number of fertilizers and reagents is considerable. It is common to carry out.

However, in carrying out fertilization and reagents using a mobile vehicle, there is a problem in that a relatively large amount of time, personnel and expenses are required for fertilization or reagents. In addition, it is not easy to evenly spread the fertilizer or medicament on the object, there is a problem that the timely application of fertilizer and reagent is lost when the fertilization and reagent time is prolonged.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to significantly reduce the time and expense of fertilizers and / or reagents, as well as to fertilize fertilizers and / or medicinal mixtures by spraying irrigation water through the head of the sprinkler. Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic fertilization and reagent system using a sprinkler capable of uniformly spraying a drug onto an object.

The water supply switching device 30 is connected to the branch pipe 20 so as to be in communication with each other, and the other end is arranged to allow operation access from the surface of the first bypass pipe 31 and a predetermined distance from the first bypass pipe 31. At a spaced point, one end is coupled to communicate with the branch pipe 20 and the other end is arranged so as to allow operation access from the ground, and the first bypass tube 31 opens and closes the first bypass tube 31. The branch pipe is interposed between the valve 33a, the second valve 33b which opens and closes the second bypass tube 39, and the coupling point where the first bypass tube 31 and the second bypass tube 39 are respectively coupled. And a third valve 33c coupled to open and close 20.

Water supply switching device 30 is the first bypass pipe 31 is bent at a predetermined angle in order to bypass the irrigation water through the branch pipe 20 in close proximity to the main supply pipe 10 side is connected to the branch pipe 20, The second bypass pipe 39 is bent at a predetermined angle to connect the branch pipe 20 to the branch pipe 20 so that the mixed water mixed with the fertilizer or the medicament is separated from the one bypass pipe 31 by the predetermined position. A first valve 33a is provided at an outlet end of the first bypass pipe 31 to block and apply a bypass of irrigation water, and a flow of mixed water is blocked at an inlet end of the second bypass pipe 39. And a second valve 33b for applying, and a third valve for blocking and applying the flow of irrigation water to the branch pipe 20 between the first bypass pipe 31 and the second bypass pipe 39. 33c) is installed.

Here, the first valve 33a, the second valve 33b, and the third valve 33c are spherical valves, and are preferably constituted by ball valves that fit well with the valve seat at any position, and each valve 33a. 33c are electrically connected with the control apparatus 35 for controlling the operation | movement of each valve 33a-33c by user's operation, respectively.

Here, the irrigation water mixed with fertilizer or medicament is sent back to the branch pipe 10 by using the pressure of the irrigation water supplied from the main supply pipe 10, a separate pump for sending the irrigation water to the mixing device 42 (Not shown) may be configured to be mounted.

When the control device 35 is operated so that the first valve 33a and the third valve 33c are blocked and only the second valve 33b is opened, the water and the medicine transferred through the second bypass tube 39 are controlled. The mixed irrigation water is ejected through the branch pipe 20 from the head of the sprinkler (not shown) to the ground of a large farming complex and golf course.

After the fertilization and the reagents are finished in this manner, the first valve 33a and the second valve 33b are shut off, and the control device 35 is operated so that only the third valve 33c is opened. The irrigation water from) is ejected to the ground of a large farming complex and golf course through the head of the sprinkler (not shown) installed at the end of the branch pipe (20).

According to the results of the fertilization and reagents of the 18-hole golf course using the automatic fertilizer and reagent system using the sprinkler according to the present invention, one operating agent took 10 minutes per hole to finish fertilization and reagents. . When calculating all the travel time of 18 holes, one operating agent took about 270 minutes to finish fertilization and reagents.

On the other hand, according to the results of loading tanks and spraying devices in a mobile vehicle and applying fertilizers and reagents to the same golf course using a spraying device, one driver of the mobile vehicle and one operator of fertilizing and reagents per 35 holes per hole When the minutes were taken, and all the travel time was calculated, two people took about 1260 minutes to finish the fertilization and reagents.

Therefore, the fertilizer and reagent system using the sprinkler according to the present invention resulted in a reduction of about 79% of the workload compared to the conventional operation, and an increase of about 6 times in terms of efficiency.

As described above, the automatic fertilizer and reagent system using the sprinkler according to the present invention, not only can significantly reduce the time required for fertilization and reagents, personnel and expenses in large-scale farming complexes and golf courses, but also fertilizer or The drug can be evenly sprayed on the object.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be improved or modified by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
