Description
a WO 02/082888 1 PCT/EP02/03966 @ tie irrigation mat
The invention relates to a textile irrigation mat for the areal distribution of water, especially underground. Fields of application are horticulture and agriculture.
In areas with high solar radiation and low precipitation, artificial irrigation is badly needed. For this purpose various variants of irrigation hoses have been installed over many kilometres in widely branched systems. Especially in parks this adversely affects the aesthetics. Frequently drip hoses are used, which permit a locally differentiated supply of water, as a result of which water losses due to evaporation are reduced compared to the use of sprinkler systems.
From the field of horticulture various irrigation devices are known that have been designed especially for use in greenhouses, permit a very accurate dosing and as a result have a relatively complicated construction. Thus, DE 20 19 423 describes an irrigation device for plants in pots or other containers, which comprises special pressure compensation in order to permit a uniform water supply also on uneven surfaces.
In DE 25 01 543 an irrigation device for plant cultivation firms has been proposed, with which hair-fine flexible distribution hoses are connected in the manner of bundles and supply water to the individual plants. An areal irrigation is not possible with this system.
A device for the nutritive film technique in plant cultivation is described in DD 203 215.
The device comprises a flexible chute which is lined with foam foil for the transport of the nutrient solution. This principle can also not be used for large-area outdoor irrigation.
Also the cover proposed in DE 20 19 423 for the independent watering of plants, which can supply pot plants with water very uniformly, is not suitable for large-area outdoor irrigation because of its relatively complicated construction.
DE 29 08 615 describes a device for the aquaculture cultivation of plants, which consists of a fibrous capillary material, which in the longitudinal direction is installed in the wall of a liquid supply pipe. The manufacture of this device requires a great amount of construction work.
Furthermore, from DE 197 49 673 an underground irrigation system for cemeteries is a WO 02/082888 2 PCT/EP02/03966 @ovn which includes a container with a layer of granulate as filler material and a layer of soil, which is filled with water. To increase the water storage, the filler material is embedded in a bonded fabric casing of synthetic fibres. In addition, a bonded fabric layer is provided underneath the filler material or a bonded fabric is placed on the filler
Material. Because of its very complicated construction, this system can only be used for small irrigation areas, e.g. graves.
An underground supply system for the large-area irrigation of plant cultivations is known from DE 199 33 554, where in the agricultural area to be irrigated flexible hoses provided with valve-type outlet openings are installed under the ground and are connected to a water supply system. With this the soil areas above and underneath the hoses are kept constantly moist with water in a quantity-type dosing. To this end the individual hoses are arranged at distances of approx. 60-70 cm approximately 30-60 cm deep in the soil and are connected on both sides to comb pipes that are also installed in the ground and are supplied with water. With this supply system the arrangement of the irrigation hoses for large-area use is very time and cost-consuming.
Itis the object of the invention to provide an economical irrigation system for large-area use, preferably underground in the green area range, which ensures an easier and quicker installation without additional piping systems and with which at the same time an adaptation to locally different underground conditions can be obtained.
The object is achieved by the characteristics indicated in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are contained in the dependent claims.
The textile irrigation mat according to the invention permits the construction of an ) underground supply system for the large-area irrigation of plant cultivations, which can be manufactured economically, can be used universally on all soils permitting a continuous economical irrigation over longer periods and at any time of the day, and which at the same time ensures an optimal supply of water to the plants. The installation of the irrigation mat can be determined in dependence on the use of the hoses in a specific thickness, length and the corresponding number of water outlet openings in the hoses. In contrast to aboveground irrigation systems, practically no water can evaporate into the atmosphere and on the other hand unnecessary water loss by seepage is avoided.
A further important advantage of the irrigation mat according to the invention lies in its
B WO 02/082888 3 PCT/EP02/03966 @ce-area and at the same time light construction and low height. The structural dimensions permit a premanufacture of the irrigation mat also in large-area dimensions and the problem-free transport to the place of use. Furthermore, a quick and risk-free installation is ensured with little personnel and machine expenditure by minimal soil excavation at the place of use, as a result of the low weight also in the case of large dimensions. Because of an adequate flexibility of the mat, a problem-free adaptation to the terrain is possible,
In the following description the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to exemplified embodiments. In the relevant drawings
Fig. 1 shows a cut-out of the irrigation mat in a perspective view,
Fig. 2 shows the irrigation mat with round hoses and additional filler strips, and
Fig. 3 shows the cross-section of an irrigation mat with worked-in flat hoses.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, the solution according to the invention comprises a textile irrigation mat, with which between the two water-conductive textile sheets, preferably bonded fabric sheets 2, 3, irrigation hoses 1 with water outlet openings 7 are embedded at a distance from one another, wherein the bonded fabric sheet 3 acting as bottom sheet has a water-impermeable outside. Bonded fabric sheets 2, 3 of a preferably synthetic or other difficult rottable fibre material with high water storage capacity are used. The bonded fabric sheets 2, 3 can have identical or different fibre and/or cross-section structures. For the irrigation hoses 1, round or flat hoses (Fig. 3) can be used. The bonded fabric sheets 2, 3 are joined together in the areas between the irrigation hoses 1 by seam-like joints 4 according to the stitch-bonding process, by needling, gluing or other joining processes in such a way that the irrigation hoses 1 are tightly encased and a slipping of the irrigation hoses 1 is avoided. Because of the resultant pressure losses, irrigation hoses 1 with relatively large water outlet openings 7 can be used, so that the risk of a blocking of the hoses 1 can be reduced. Particularly favourable is the use of line-shaped irrigation elements 5 according to DE 40 37 3986, as a particularly good water distribution and storage can be obtained with these.
When using large mat areas or hose lengths it is advantageous to use pressure- compensated irrigation hoses 1. When using round hoses with a larger diameter, in order to produce a flat surface of the mat additional filler strips 6 can be arranged
@ tween the irrigation hoses 1, which are joined to the bonded fabric sheets 2, 3 (Fig. 2). The filler strips 6 can consist of bonded fabric strips with the same structure as the bonded fabric sheets 2 and/or 3. As filler strips 6, also different bonded fabric strips, felt strips, textile threads or other strand-like textile material can be used.
The irrigation hoses 1 embedded in the bonded fabric sheets 2 and 3 can be arranged in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction, and also a specific area-like arrangement is possible. Irrigation hoses 1 with different diameters can be used, Likewise the water outlet openings 7 can have different diameters or cross-sections. The number of and distance between the water outlet openings 7 are definable. The arrangement of the water outlet openings 7 preferably takes place on the underside of the irrigation hoses 1. Depending on the soil in question and the plants to be irrigated, also a uniform distribution of the water outlet openings on the periphery of the irrigation hoses 1 is possible. For the water supply the hose ends can be connected directly to the water mains or other water supply system without a complicated installation of underground piping systems. * % %
