Description

DESCRIPTION

metered irrigation device

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a metered irrigation device, to ensure the exact dosage of water, nutrients and phytosanitary products to the different individual plants of a crop.

STATE OF THE ART

It is known in the state of the art the existence of irrigation installations formed by a hose, sometimes ending in a pole, to water pots and similar containers. The user has to press a control to release the desired amount of water. This procedure does not allow exact irrigation, which is especially complicated if you want to dose phytosanitary products.

In this case, the only solution is to individually fill containers and apply them manually. Consequently, the dosing and irrigation work is very costly in terms of time and labor and offers too imprecise results.

The Applicant does not know of any device that makes it possible to solve all these problems in such a simple way as the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of an accurate metered irrigation device, according to the first claim and whose variants solve the problems of the state of the art.

This device allows to obtain a high precision in terms of the dosage of water, with or without additives, hygiene and occupational safety since no chemical products are handled. In addition, it allows you to easily calculate how many units are irrigated.

To do this, the measured irrigation device starts from a pump, a pipe that is at least partially flexible to orient it properly, a control and a pole. It also comprises a controller configured to measure a predetermined quantity of fluid in each irrigation and stop the pump at that moment. The controller can be regulated, varying the amount to be dispensed. For example, you can have several pre-programmed buttons, an adjustment wheel...

In one embodiment, the pump is volumetric and the controller regulates the number of cycles. It may also comprise a flow meter connected to the controller. This flowmeter is preferably on the pole to measure the water that actually comes out.

If the water entering the pump does not have all the measured additives, it is possible to connect an auxiliary liquid additive tank connected to the pipe. This auxiliary tank will be as close as possible to the pole.

Other variants are seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figure is included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter.

Figure 1 shows an example of an embodiment formed by a tank (1) with water, a pump (2), a flowmeter (3), a conduit (4) to the least partially flexible, a pole (5), a command (6) and a controller (7). The control (6) can be remote or wired, and can be independent or form part of the perch (5).

The device may have an auxiliary tank (8) connected to the line (4), for example by means of a Venturi.

In use, when you want to water a plant, you press the knob (6) that sends the signal to the controller (7). This activates the pump (2) until the flowmeter (3) recognizes that a preset amount of fluid has passed through the conduit (4) to the pole (5). That is, each pulse on the knob (6) sends an exact amount to the pole (5). This amount can be adjusted on the controller (7) or on the knob (6). The controller (7) can count the number of received pulses.

In another configuration, the controller (7) activates the pump (2) with automatic pauses of several seconds, adjustable, while the control (6) is kept pressed. Thus, the user can go from one pot (10) to another without further action.

The water in the tank (1) can already have the corresponding additives or these can be supplied from the auxiliary tank (8) by means of the Venturi.

The flow meter (3), the controller (7) and the pump (2) are powered from the mains. The control (6) can be connected by cable to the controller (7) and thus be powered or have a rechargeable or replaceable battery.

In a solution not shown, the pump (2) is volumetric and the volume of water supplied is measured by the number of cycles, ignoring the flowmeter (3).

The device is complemented by shut-off valves, pressure gauges and other similar equipment.
