Description

Flat pipe irrigation system.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates, as expresses the statement of the present specification, to a flat pipe irrigation system that contributes to the function to which allocates several advantages and novel features that are they will describe in detail later, apart from others inherent in their organization and constitution, and that represent an improvement or alternative with respect to what is already known in this field.

Background of the invention

Currently and as a reference to the state of the technique, it should be mentioned that various systems of irrigation for the field at industrial level.

Most of these systems, however, consist of pipes pipes or hoses made in polyethylene, aluminum, PVC or similar materials, constituting rigid, heavy and not very flexible structures that therefore result difficult to handle when installed and collected specifying for it, consequently, of time and personnel.

It should be noted, however, that the petitioner unknown the existence of a flat pipe irrigation system that present technical, structural and constitutive similar to those advocated by the present invention, which aims to solve the problems above noted.

Explanation of the invention.

With the present invention, a irrigation system whose main novelty is to be configured, in addition to other elements, by a pipe made preferably in material noticeably more flexible than it is usually used for the same purpose, such as polyethylene of low density, due to which, it adopts a flat configuration Until its use.

Said pipe, being more flexible allows its advantageous transport by means of a metal coil in which roll flat occupying a minimum space, and being unrolled across the field to water.

The pipe acquires its cylindrical shape by subject it to water pressure then presenting the same properties than any conventional tube.

The pipe incorporates arranged every certain space, a series of female connections to which the other elements that configure the system, said connection being suitable and compatible to support the connection of all types of conventional accessories.

The new irrigation system is complemented by other elements that are coupled to the mentioned pipe, thus, a Once this has been mechanically extended on the plot by the metal coil is connected to the described female connections, which incorporates equidistant distributed throughout its length, a flexible microtube through a male connector of which has one of its ends, constituting a connection perfectly tight easy and quick to perform.

At the other end, said microtube incorporates a adapter that allows its coupling to a support rod as well as the assembly by means of thread to the nozzle of the sprinkler.

In the same way, for the disassembly of the installation simply disconnects the flexible microtube, it collect rods and sprinklers and flat pipe is rolled mechanically in the mentioned metal coils.

It should be mentioned that the flat pipe, in addition to be placed on the surface, it can also be buried by rejón

Depending on the microtubes and sprinklers that are connect in the female connections of the flat pipe, the system advantageously allows irrigation by sprinklers as well as located, since it does not require the use of all of them, also admitting a wide range of flows and pressures, allowing low flow and low pressure irrigation, which means a saving of water and energy consumption.

On the other hand, the number of elements that make up the system is minimal, a circumstance that favors a minor number of possible deteriorations and / or breakages and therefore a saving in maintenance

Thus, the system of the invention allows easily mechanize your installation and collection in addition to your storage offering the farmer the advantage of a minor labor cost in installation and disassembly of the installation, especially in those facilities that by its characteristics is important to move the irrigation system easily and quickly.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the configuration flat and light of the pipe of the new system allows the installation of large branch lengths, which constitutes equally an advantage for older facilities dimensions.

The new flat pipe irrigation system represents, therefore, an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown up to now for that purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, the provide sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity requested.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the commented figures and of according to the numbering adopted, it can be observed in them an example of preferred embodiment of the irrigation system in flat pipe comprising the parts indicated and described to continuation.

Specifically, the invention, as seen in figure 1, it is essentially configured by a pipe (1) preferably made of flexible material such as polyethylene low density due to which it adopts a flat configuration Until its use.

The flat pipe (1), as seen in the Figures 2 and 3, incorporates, arranged every certain space, a series of female connections (2) to which a flexible microtube is connected (3) by means of a male connector (4) available in one of its extremes (figure 4).

As seen in Figure 5, in his other end, said flexible microtube (3) incorporates an adapter (5) that allows its coupling to a support rod (6), as well as the Thread assembly (7) to the sprinkler nozzle (8).

The flat pipe (1), being flexible allows its transport by means of a metal coil (9), represented in the Figure 6, in which it is rolled up flat occupying a minimum space, and being unwound across the field to water.

Finally, and as seen in the figure 7, the system of the invention is connected to the supply network by means of a valve (10) and the corresponding connectors (11) and (12) arranged at the end of the flat pipe (1).

Describe sufficiently the nature of the The present invention, as well as how to implement it, is it states that, within its essentiality, it may be taken to the practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example, and which will reach also the protection that is collected as long as it is not altered, change or modify its fundamental principle.
