Abstract:
A protective body/cover (1) to be placed over water/air openings on underground pipes (2). The cover is two-legged and has openings at two opposite ends to permit a pipe (2) to be passed through. Water from openings in the pipe moves towards shaped walls/projections (3), which lead the water to drip (4) through air (10) and fall to the ground (5), approximately directly under the pipe (2). The side walls on the bottom part of the cover have plates/feet (6) which prevent the pipe from sinking down into the ground. At the ends of the protective body/cover (1) there are provided slots or holes (8) with inserted pins/plates (9) which secure the pipe (2) and prevent it from being pushed down. Under the cover there will be formed an air-filled space (10) through which the water drips. Interior vertical walls (7) in the lower part of the cover (1) will be kept dry on the inside and prevent the plants' roots from growing up the wall in their search for the water source (4).
Abstract:
The invention relates to irrigation pipes and processes and devices for making them. Pipes for irrigating plants, especially their roots, with a substantially circular cross-section and apertures covered by a filter material applied to the outside of the pipe, in which the pipe (1) has longitudinal lips (10) whose opposite longitudinal sides form an intermediate space within which the apertures (3) lie and in which a filter strip (7, 11), for example of woven or mineral fibres or the like, is surrounded or held by the lips (10) or the apertures (3) are recessed in relation to the outer surface of the pipe (1) and are each covered by a piece (6) of filter material.
Abstract:
A subsurface flood irrigation system for trees and vines with use of irrigation devices 100 having tank, with the ability to automatically store and drain the required water. In this system each irrigation devices 100 being connected in series with each other via a supply pipe 102. Each irrigation devices comprising: a) one tank 200, in the form of a cylindrical hollow space at an upper portion of the irrigation device, for storing the required water therein; b) one blocking chamber 300, located on the inside of the tank but at lower portion thereof, for blocking or opening one water drain vent; c) one air control system 500, positioned at the top inner portion of the tank, for blocking an air outlet path of one blocking chamber located in the next irrigation device; and, d) one hollow chamber 400, located at the lower portion of the irrigation device.
Abstract:
A root zone warming system (10) for an athletic field of natural turf (11) supplies positive pressurization to the root zone via a piping network (12) with openings. The system (10) enables control of the temperature of the supplied air by varying the flow resistance at an output end of a constant air supply source (27), such as a positive displacement blower. By increasing the flow resistance at the output end of the blower (27), with a variably controllable valve (29), the operating temperature of the blower (27) increases and thereby causes a corresponding increase in the temperature of the air supplied therefrom. By varying the flow resistance a user can vary the temperature of the air supplied to the piping network (12) and to the root zone, thereby to control the amount of warming of the root zone so as to reduce the onset, degree, or duration of turf dormancy during the winter season.
Abstract:
A device for subsurface irrigation of plants that can be adjusted, assembled, and installed in the ground during the user's desired length at the time of execution and bring the water to the appropriate depth. The device consists of smaller parts, including the leading part, the middle parts, and the end parts, which are connected and make the desired length. Also in this design, it is possible to add magnets to magnetize water as an option for There is also a consumer as well as a sponge brokerage in the vertical channel of the part for further purification and sedimentation. In this device, the middle parts form the main part and by increasing or decreasing them, the final length of the device is determined and they have holes for irrigation in their body.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an irrigation device for facilitating plant growth, comprising: a head portion connectable to a fluid supply; an elongate body portion in fluid communication with the head portion and configured to be at least partially located below a ground surface to deliver fluid below the ground surface adjacent the plant; wherein, the head portion comprises a fluid chamber into which the fluid from the fluid supply is received for release to the elongate body portion.

본 발명은 분리용 식수대에 심은 조경수의 급수구조에 관한 것이며, 상세하게는 도로의 중앙분리대용 식수대(植樹帶)에 심은 가로수 또는 대형 주차장 및 집단주택의 주차장의 주차구획을 구획(분리)하기 위한 식수대에 심은 관상수의 급수구조에 관한 것으로서, 구조가 간단하고, 운영비가 소요되지 않으며, 비를 양호하게 빗물저장조에 모을 수 있도록 한 것이다. 본 발명은 식수대(10)에 심은 조경수 사이에 배치하고 그 측면에 조경수의 뿌리방향측으로 적어도 1개 이상의 분배관(21a,21b)을 설치하며 상면을 개방한 빗물저장조(20)와, 빗물 포집체 본체(31)를 삿갓 유사형상으로 형성함과 아울러 다수의 통공(32)을 형성하며 하부 주위에 빗물포집홈을 형성하여서 그 하단 주위를 상기 빗물저장조(20)의 상단 주위에 분해할 수 있게 결합한 빗물포집체(30)로 구성한 것이다.
Abstract:
A gravity irrigation system includes a distribution piping having apertures to distribute water to a field, and a valve located upstream of the distribution piping. The valve is configured to limit a pressure of the water being delivered to the distribution piping. The system also includes a sump configured to receive the water at a lowest elevation of the field, a depth sensor disposed within the sump, and a return pump disposed at least partially within the sump and configured to move the water to an elevated portion of the field. The system also includes a motor configured to drive the return pump, and a power source coupled to a variable frequency drive. The variable frequency drive is configured to power the motor and control a motor speed proportionately to an indication of the depth sensor. The system also includes a transfer piping coupled to an outlet of the return pump to bring the water from the return pump to a check valve and from there to the distribution piping at a low pressure side of the valve.
