Definitions

  • This Invention relates to an aerial crop spray system.
  • Aerial application commonly Involves spraying crops with crop protection products from an agricultural aircraft.
  • Fe tilizers, pesticides and fungicides, necessary for maximising food production, may be applied from the aircraft.
  • Unfortunately, the use of aircraft Is very costly, requiring the services of a highly skilled pilot along with the cost of the aircraf and the aviation fuel.
  • Overhead irrigation of plants is also an Important aspect of farming.
  • various overhead Irrigation methods are used! including centre pivot and linear or lateral move irrigation systems,
  • Centre pivot irrigation Is a form of overhead sprinkler Irrigation consisting of several segments of pipe joined together and supported by trusses, mounted on wheeled towers with sprinklers positioned along Its length. The machine moves In a circular pattern and Is fed with water from the pivot point at the center of the circle. Centre Pivot systems are extremely expensive to Install.
  • a linear move or lateral move irrigation system comprises a series of pipes, each with a wheel of about 1 .5 rn diameter permanently affixed to Its midpoint and sprinklers along Its length, coupled together at one edge of a field. Water is supplied at one end using a large hose. After sufficient water has been applied, the hose Is removed and the remaining assembly pushed either by hand or with a purpose-built mechanism, so that the sprinklers move 10 m across the field. The nose is reconnected. The process is repeated untif the opposite edge of the field Is reached.
  • This system is less expensive to install than a center pivot, but much more labor intensive to operate, and It is limited in the amount of water it can carry.
  • an apparatus for the spraying of substances over, and/or Irrigation of, plants comprising at least one lighter- ihamair structure attached to a spra line, for maintaining the spray line above the ground, the spray line including an inlet conneetahie to a supply of liquid, and at least one outlet from which the liquid may be dispersed.
  • the structure may be an inflatable structure, Inflated with a iightenthan-air gas Including, but not limited to Helium or hydrogen.
  • the shape of the llghfer-than-alr structure may vary, and ma comprise one or more tubular or sausage shaped inflatable structures, extendable along the length of the line, alternatively, a number of Individual smaller balloon, blim or iorroldai shaped structures may be attached along the length of the hose.
  • the shape of the Iighter han ⁇ air structure may be aerodynamic, and in a embodiment of the invention the lighterdhan-alr structure may be the shape of an airplane wing along a portion of its length.
  • the lightentharvair structure may additionally include one or more aerofoil or kite ilke devices, capable of using available air currents to aid In the lift of the struct re.
  • outlets connected to spray nozzles iocated along the length of the spray line.
  • the supply of liquid may include a water storage tank and pump, alternatively a water pipe, containing water and/or plant protection substances such as pesticides, herbicides and/or fertilizer.
  • he storage tank may be mobile, and may be lowed Into position by various means, including but not limited to manual labour or tractor.
  • the spray line may be attached to at least one adjustable vertical support structure for extending, the line Into the air to the desired height above the plants to be sprayed, and for tethering the spray line at the desired height above the plants.
  • adjustable vertical support structures are located on either end of the spray line.
  • the liquid supply means remains stationary, while the support structure to which the opposite end of the spray line Is attached may move, the source of liquid providing a centre pivot point about which the spray line moves In a circle.
  • both the storage tank and the support structure located at the opposite end of the spray line may move down the length or a field, much like a linear move irrigation system.
  • Figure .2 Is a representation of a second .alternative embodiment of the Invention.
  • An inflatable structure 10 is provided for support of a spray line 12 above the ground.
  • the structure 10 may be a long tubular or sausage shape, extending along the length of the spray line 12, alternatively, and referring to figure 2, the inflatable structure may include a number of smaller balloons attached to the spra line 12.
  • the shape of these balloons may vary:
  • the balloons are inflated with a iighler-than-asr gas such as Helium or hydrogen.
  • Additional aerofoils or kites may be included In the design, capable of using air currents to assist in lifting the structure to Its desired height..
  • a water supply 14 One end of the spray line 12 is connected to a water supply 14.
  • This water supply 1 could either be a storage tank 16 and pump (figure 2) : alternatively a water supply pipe 18 (figure 1).
  • the wafer supply could also Include plant protection substances such as pesticides, herbicides and/or fertilizer.
  • a number of water outlets connected to spray nozzles 20 are located along the length of the spray line 12.
  • An adjustable vertical support 22 extends from the water supply 14 for extending the spray line 12 to the desired height above the plants to be sprayed, and for tethering the spray line 12 ar d balloons 10 at the desired height above the plants.
  • a second adjustable vertical support 24 is located at the other end of the spra line 12, This adjustable ⁇ ⁇ support Is also mobile, and In this Instance is located on wheels 26,
  • the water supply 14 remains stationary, while the adjustable support 24 to which the opposite end of the spray lin 12 Is attached moves, the wafer supply 14 providing a centre pivot point about which the spray line: 2 moves In a circle.
  • the storage tank 16 are mobile, Including wheels 26. and may be towed into position by various means, including but not limited to manual labour or tractor (not shown).
  • both the storage tank 16 and the adjustable support 24 located at the opposite end of the spray line 12 can travel down the length of a field, much like a linear move Irrigation system.
  • the speed at which the spray line moves down the length of the field may be automated, or manually controlled.
  • the inflatable, lighier-than-alr structures 10 maintain the spray line 12 above the ground.
  • the height of the spray line may be varied for optimal effect, taking into account undulating ground and crop height depending on what is being sprayed. There wiii be a more effective contact of the spray substance with the crop, and less wastage and over spray.
  • the structures 10 do away with the need for additional wheeled towers along the length of the spra fine, saving in set up costs, and also reducing wastage of arable land.
  • Inflatable structures 10 provides a far more reasonable alternative to other forms of crop spraying such as helicopters and planes.
  • the apparatus could be used: not just n the irrigation and aerial spraying of agricultural crops, but also on race tracks, golf courses and parks. A simpler, more compact design could be employed In domestic gardens.
  • the invention therefore pravides a novel iighier han ⁇ air structure for the support of a spray line.

Abstract

Appareil destiné à la pulvérisation de substances sur des plantes et/ou d'irrigation de plantes, l'appareil comprenant au moins une structure 10 plus légère que l'air fixée à une conduite de pulvérisation 12 afin de maintenir la conduite de pulvérisation 12 au-dessus du sol, la conduite de pulvérisation 12 comprenant une entrée pouvant être raccordée à une alimentation en liquide 14, et au moins une sortie 20 de laquelle le liquide peut être dispersé. La structure peut être une structure gonflable. La structure est gonflée avec un gaz plus léger que l'air comprenant, mais sans s'y limiter, l'hélium ou l'hydrogène. La forme de la structure plus légère que l'air peut varier, et peut comprendre une ou plusieurs structures gonflables tubulaires ou en forme de saucisse, pouvant s'étendre sur la longueur de la conduite ; en variante, un certain nombre de structures individuelles en forme de ballonnet, de caisson ou de forme toroïdale plus petites peuvent être fixées sur la longueur de la conduite 12.
