    摘要: An anchoring device for a self-propelled irrigation system includes a drive assembly that drives a soil auger into the ground to anchor a drive tower of the irrigation system. The soil auger is rotatably driven about a vertical axis and movable vertically relative to the drive tower. The soil auger includes a lower tip, a multi-sided head at an upper end, and a helical screw portion between the lower tip and the upper end. The drive assembly includes a sleeve member with an inner surface that mates with the head of the soil auger and allows the soil auger to slide within the sleeve member while rotating together with the sleeve member. A bit cleaner assembly is arranged to engage the helical screw portion of the soil auger to clean soil from the auger and to cause the auger to move vertically relative to the sleeve member upon rotation.

    摘要: An alignment unit for use with an irrigation system comprises a housing, an alignment sensor, an alignment controller, and an actuator. The irrigation system may include a plurality of spans, each including a drive tower and a drive unit. The housing may house at least a portion of the alignment unit. The alignment sensor may measure a real-time alignment of the drive tower. The alignment controller may be in communication with the alignment sensor and may be operable to receive the real-time alignment of the drive tower and energize the drive unit based on a first range of real-time alignment values. The actuator may couple with the alignment controller and may reorient at least a portion of the alignment controller in relation to the alignment sensor.

    摘要: A lateral irrigation system comprising a plurality of towers and a plurality of lateral structures extending between and connected to the towers. The support structures may comprise a first support structure, a second support structure pivotable relative to the first support structure, and a third support structure pivotable relative to the second support structure. The irrigation system may also comprise a fluid delivery system having conduits attached to or extending through the support structures and configured to output water from orifices formed therein. The irrigation system may further comprise joints at which the second and third support structures may pivot. The second and third support structures may be configured to pivot into a substantially zig-zag or “Z”-shaped configuration relative to the first support structure.

    摘要: A self-propelled irrigation carriage (1) comprised by an irrigation system and provided with a spraying boom or a high-volume discharge sprayer is movable back and forth on drive wheels (2) between the ends of the area to be irrigated, along a pipe-line (4) laid on the ground. The water is transferred, via a unit (5) connected to said carriage (1) and movable together therewith, to a fluid motor (6) mounted on the carriage for driving the wheels (2) and to one or more spray nozzles on the spraying boom or discharge sprayer. The pipe-line (4) is provided with equidistantly spaced apart clamps (8), each of which accommodates a non-return valve (9) extending through the wall of the pipe-line. The transfer unit (5) has two chains which are passed around sprocket wheels and from which cups (12) are suspended at intervals corresponding to the interspaces between the clamps (8). The cups (12) can be moved in succession into correct position in register with the adjacent clamp (8) and are provided each with one projection depressing the non-return valve (9) when the cup is in correct position.

    摘要: A land irrigation system in which a continuously traveling sprinkler line is supplied with water from spaced risers mounted on a stationary water supply conduit extending in the direction of the movement of the sprinkler line to continuously supply water to the sprinkler conveyance, carrying a rotating water manifold with three rigid water carrying arms extending from the manifold at 120.degree. to each other for successive connection to water outlet valves on the risers, moves along the water supply conduit. The outlet from the manifold is connected to the inlet of the sprinkler line through a conduit having a swivel joint whereby the manifold and rigid arms can rotate through 360.degree. relative to the inlet of the sprinkler line. The inlet end of each rigid arm has a coupling device for coupling with outlet valve of a riser and for opening and closing the riser outlet valve. One rigid arm is fluidly coupled to the supply line at all times. With one coupling device connected to one riser, movement of the conveyance along supply line can be utilized to cause the manifold and rigid arms to rotate around the connected riser and also relative to the conveyance to bring another coupling device into contiguity with the next riser in the direction of conveyance travel. The manifold and sprinkler swivel connection move away from and toward the stationary supply conduit to accommodate the length of the rigid arm as it rotates around the connected riser.
