Definitions

  • the invention relates to an irrigation device for irrigating vegetation with a liquid, wherein the irrigation device is designed for stationary operation, with an exit nozzle from which the liquid emerges in operation in the form of a liquid jet in an exit direction and a control deflector, the control deflector being aligned in the exit direction the liquid jet can be arranged and is adapted to influence the direction of the liquid jet.
  • Such irrigation devices are known from the prior art. They are used to water plants and lawns in gardens.
  • the generically provided control deflectors are used in such irrigation devices to reduce the throw distance, so that even a short range around the irrigation device can be irrigated around.
  • the control deflectors known from the prior art are planar deflector surfaces which can be adjusted in a preferably adjustable manner Beam path of the liquid jet can be engaged to affect its direction or the direction of a portion of the liquid.
  • the liquid jet is usually slightly fanned out at the outlet from the outlet nozzle, in particular in the vertical direction, so that the throwing distance is not uniform, but an annular surface is supplied with liquid.
  • a lawn sprinkler in which a vertically emerging liquid jet is deflected by means of a rotatable sleeve while the jet simultaneously causes a rotational movement of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve widens at a distal end and thus allows a radial discharge of the water in a wide fanned-out form.
  • the publication US 2006/226261 A1 shows a circular sprinkler according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein emerges from a double nozzle liquid in the jet direction and against the jet direction of the sprinkler in the direction of the deflector.
  • the first liquid jet emerging in the jet direction exits the sprinkler in a controlled manner through a first guide channel guided parallel to the jet direction.
  • the opposite to the jet direction of the sprinkler emerging from the double nozzle second liquid jet is deflected by 180 degrees by means of the deflector and emerges guided to a guided parallel to the first guide channel second guide channel from the sprinkler.
  • the two liquid jets unite to form a common irrigation jet.
  • the deflection of the second liquid jet causes at this a force acting perpendicular to the beam direction force, by which the rotation of the sprinkler head of the circular sprinkler is effected.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a generic irrigation device to the effect that an improved bundled jet image is achieved beyond the control deflector.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show a first irrigation device 10.
  • This has an approximately cylindrical basic shape and has at its in the illustrated functional position lower end via a connecting piece 12 which is connectable to a holding device, not shown.
  • This holding device ensures in operation for the illustrated vertically aligned along a main axis 2 functional position.
  • a discharge assembly 14 Opposite at the top of a discharge assembly 14 is provided. Part of this discharge assembly 14 is a discharge nozzle 16, which is aligned in an obliquely upward direction 4.
  • An upper portion of the irrigation device 10 is formed rotatable relative to a lower portion about the main axis 2.
  • the relative movement is achieved in operation in a manner not shown by the flow of the liquid, which is passed through the irrigation device 10 from the connecting piece 12 to the discharge nozzle 16.
  • the covered angle range for the relative movement is adjustable by dials 18.
  • the relative rotation ensures that the liquid emerging through the outlet nozzle 16 is distributed in the region of a circular or circular-segment-shaped surface.
  • the discharge assembly 14 comprises, in addition to the discharge nozzle 16, a control deflector 30, which is pivotably connected to a housing section 20 about a horizontal pivot axis 6.
  • the adjustment of the swivel angle of the control deflector is done via a Justierrad 22 can be achieved, which is pivotally hinged to the housing portion 20.
  • the control deflector 30 can thereby be moved between an upper pivotal position in which it is not aligned in the exit direction 4 with the exit nozzle 16 and a lower pivot position in which liquid emerging from the exit nozzle 16 comes into contact with the control deflector 30.
  • the control deflector is in each case in its upper pivot position.
  • the control deflector 30 On its inner surface 40, which faces the outlet nozzle 16, the control deflector 30 is designed as a flow-guiding device 40, 42.
  • the inner surface 40 as part of a Strömungsleitrinne two V-shaped and arranged at an angle of about 80 ° including leg surfaces 40a, 40b. These leg surfaces 40a, 40b are connected to one another in a transition region and form a valley groove 42 there.
  • the irrigation fluid usually water, optionally with fertilizer additives
  • the outlet nozzle 16 is output in the form of a liquid jet.
  • This liquid jet is slightly fanned out in the horizontal direction and fanned out to a greater extent in the vertical direction.
  • the control deflector 30 When the control deflector 30 is set in a lower pivot position, the liquid jet bounces at an acute angle in the region of the valley groove 42 on the inner surface 40 of the control deflector 30. The irrigation liquid is thereby deflected with respect to their direction, so that the leaving the valley groove 42 in a liquid Close range around the watering device impinges on plants or lawn in the area.
  • the Control deflector are set so that only an upper part of the vertically fanned liquid jet impinges on the control deflector 30 and is thereby reduced in its throwing distance.
  • FIGS. 3a to 3c show an alternative control deflector 130. This can in the embodiment of the Figures 1 and 2 replace the control deflector 30 provided there.
  • This second embodiment of a control deflector has a surface portion 138 on its side facing the liquid jet, on which parallel to the outlet direction 4 of the liquid jet guide ribs 144 are provided which extend orthogonally from the surface portion 138.
  • These six guide ribs 144 define a total of five intermediate guide channels 142, which are aligned parallel to each other.
  • the guide ribs 144 are here as out Figure 3c View is formed so that they have in the direction of the exit direction 4 has a rising depth.
  • the guide channels 142 each have a width of about 2 mm and an exit-side depth of also about 2 mm.
  • the liquid jet which emerges in the direction of the outlet direction 4 from the corresponding opening of the watering device, inevitably has a slight expansion, which is reinforced in the course of the impact on the surface element 138.
  • the guide channels 142 compensate for this expansion by each receiving a portion of the liquid jet and realign this part of the liquid with respect to its direction of movement. Accordingly, at the exit side of the guide channels 142, the liquid exits with a largely uniform direction 5a.
  • a erfindungsgze ⁇ e embodiment is in the FIGS. 4a to 4d shown.
  • the peculiarity of this Steuerdeflektor 230 of FIGS. 4a to 4d is that although he according to the embodiments of the FIGS. 3a to 3c a plurality of guide channels 242a, 242b, but these are not formed parallel to each other, but to run towards each other. In approximately parallel to the outlet direction 4 of the liquid jet while a Scholeitkanal 242a is aligned.
  • a total of six secondary ducts 242b are provided, of which at least some run at an acute angle to the main duct 242a and open into it.
  • the guide channels each have an approximately semicircular cross-section.
  • the Hautleitkanal 242a has a width of about 3mm and a depth of about 1.5mm.
  • the Volunteerleitkanäle 242b are formed slightly smaller.
  • This herringbone-like structure means that the liquid jet, which has already been slightly widened as it emerges from the nozzle, which is further widened in the course of the impact on the surface element 238, is recombined to the desired extent.
  • the exit of the liquid at the end of the guide channels 242a, 242b in the direction 5b is consequently not only largely parallel, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 3a to 3c , but also as a largely uniform liquid jet.
  • FIGS. 4a to 4d Another special feature of the embodiment of the FIGS. 4a to 4d is that the guide channels 242a, 242b are not separated from each other by guide ribs, but are provided as groove-like depressions directly in the surface element 238.
  • it is a turbine sprinkler.
  • a reduction of the throwing distance can be achieved with other types of sprinklers, for example impulse sprinklers.
