Definitions

  • the invention refers to greenhouses, i.e. those structures for the removable covering of rows of vegetable crops, with sheets or nets for the protection of these crops prevalently from weather conditions, of the type that comprise vertical supporting poles positioned along the rows of plants, aligned transverse to one another, close together or staggered, naturally having a height greater than the height of the crowns of the plants to be protected and that with their top are arranged in any manner such as to be connected to one another with longitudinal cables and with transverse cables, to form an aerial and fixed structure, of reticulate type, which can support longitudinally on each row, at least one protective sheet that forms on the same row, a flat or double pitched roof, which is supported by said cables so as to remain correctly in position and to withstand all important stresses, both vertical and transverse, to which the same roof can be subjected by weather conditions.
  • greenhouses i.e. those structures for the removable covering of rows of vegetable crops, with sheets or nets for the protection of these crops prevalently from weather conditions, of the type that comprise vertical supporting poles
  • the term "sheet” will be used to indicate any flexible covering structure for protecting the rows, either of a closed or reticulate type.
  • the pulling cables of the sheets must follow a zigzag path between the fixed ridge and eaves cables of the various rows of plants of the greenhouse, so that there are frictions that require considerable effort to be applied to operate the various pairs of pulling cables and it is complicated to pass the ridge cable over the pairs of pulling cables, with the sheet interposed and clamped between the same pulling cables while avoiding damage to the same sheet caused by rubbing against the ridge cable and against the same pulling cables.
  • each covering sheet has a fixed end cross-piece at the eaves of each fixed arch of each row, while the movable opposite cross-piece is secured to at least one transverse pulling cable that involves each arch, which passes below the sheet, which is guided on pulleys positioned on the opposite eaves sides of each arch and which with the ends is secured to cables that run longitudinally along the eaves areas, all so that by pulling and releasing these cables using winches, said transverse pulling cable can move forwards and backwards to open or close the covering sheet of each arch.
  • the invention intends to overcome this dual technical problem of the prior art, i.e. the problem of the noteworthy effort currently required to operate the transverse pulling cables and the problem of wear of the same transverse cables and of the sheet, due to interference with the ridge cables, with a system for movement of the sheets as claimed in claim 1 ) and in the subsequent dependent claims, which makes use of the following inventive idea.
  • the covering sheet extends transversely between the ridge cable of one row and the eaves cable of the adjacent row, so that each row is half covered by the sheet that is secured with a longitudinal side thereof to its ridge cable and half covered by the movable side of the sheet of the adjacent row, while when the sheets are in the retracted position in which the rows are uncovered, each sheet is retracted folded in a bellows-like manner on the top part of each row.
  • each sheet is provided with means that enable it to run at least on the fixed transverse cables of the system and the same longitudinal and movable side of the sheet is anchored to pulling cables above, parallel to the fixed transverse cables below and therefore also transverse to the sheets and these pulling cables are preferably positioned at a height slightly greater than the height of the fixed transverse and longitudinal cables of the system, so as not to interfere with them.
  • supplementary flexible cables connected with the opposite ends to the longitudinal and movable sides of the consecutive sheets, to keep these sheets in a raised position at all times and to allow the complete transverse reduction of their overall dimensions, by retraction folded in a bellows-like manner above each row.
  • All the cables of the system are arranged on their own trajectories that do not interfere with one another or with the sheets, so that these latter are positioned between the transverse cables and the upper pulling cables above and the supplementary cables below, so as to be able to substantially float between these same cables, thus preventing friction and wear of the whole system during the movements of extension and of retraction of the same sheets and so as to be able to implement these same movements with limited effort.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are schematic views of the present system, respectively according to a top plan view and according to a front view indicated by the arrow K in Fig. 1 ;
  • Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate a part of the system arranged for operation of the sheets with horizontal arrangement, in a cross section along the line A-A of Fig. 1 and shown respectively with the sheets extended and with the sheets retracted transversely folded in a bellows-like manner on the rows of plants;
  • FIG. 5 and 6 illustrate, according to the same sectional view of Fig. 3, two different solutions for associating with the first row on the left of the system, on which the first sheet is retracted and to the longitudinal cable of which the fixed longitudinal side of this sheet is anchored, lower supplementary cables that correctly support the same sheet during retraction;
  • Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate in a front elevation the system for horizontal sheets as in the preceding figures, but arranged to simultaneously operate sheets and nets and to be able to alternatively position a sheet or a net on the rows;
  • Figs. 1 1 and 12 illustrate a part of the system arranged for operation of the sheets with a double pitched arrangement, in a cross section along the line A- A of Fig. 1 and shown respectively with the sheets extended and with the sheets retracted transversely folded in a bellows-like manner on the rows of plants.
  • the references F1 , Fn indicate the parallel rows of plants P, along which the poles 1 are installed, aligned transverse to one another, close together as in the example shown, or staggered, as stated in the prior art cited in the introduction of the present description and to which ample reference will be made.

  • said arched portions T, T, T" of the movable longitudinal sides 204, 204', 204" of the sheets 4, 4', 4" are arranged on the right of the rows F1 , Fn, F', so as to be superimposed on the fixed sides 104, 104', 104" of the same sheets, to ensure the necessary protection to the rows of plants P below.
  • the transverse section 21 1 of the main cable 1 1 is positioned transversely and in the top part of the other end of the protection structure G, the part without the winches 12, 12' and in which the same cable 1 1 is guided on aerial pulleys 13, 13'.
  • the winches 12, 12' are operated by electric motors that rotate in two directions, synchronised with each other and arranged to alternately retract and feed sections of the cable 1 1 of the same length, so that the rectilinear and opposed movement of the branches 1 1 1 , 1 1 1 ' of the same cable 1 1 cause the necessary simultaneous translation to the right or to the left of all the pulling cables 7.
  • the main cable 1 1 can be guided around the protection structure G so as to form a closed loop and to be controlled with a single winch, operated manually or with an electric motor, in two directions of rotation. It is easily understood how, in place of the winches 12 and 12', the main cable can be moved by an external moving system, such as a tractor or the like, where the means shifts the main cable 1 1 on the side 12 or 12' after the cable has been released in the opposite position.
  • an external moving system such as a tractor or the like
  • the sheets 4, 4', 4" are supported in an effective and well- distributed manner, both during retraction and during extension, through the use of groups of supplementary transverse cables 14, positioned below each said sheet 4, 4', 4", parallel to the transverse cables 3 and formed by flexible and optionally elastic elements, anchored with the opposite ends to the movable sides 204, 204', 204" and to their arched structure T, T, T" and which pass through rings or other suitable guiding means 80 anchored to the longitudinal cables 2 of the poles 1 at which the sheets are to be retracted.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de mouvement transversal, centralisé et avec un effort limité, des feuilles et/ou filets de couverture des structures de protection (G, G') de rangées (F) de plantes, où chaque feuille comporte un côté longitudinal (104) fixé au câble longitudinal (2) d'une rangée associée et l'autre côté longitudinal (204) mobile, et pour cela il est pourvu d'anneaux ou d'autres moyens appropriés (5) pour pouvoir se déplacer sur les câbles transversaux fixes (3) desdites structures (G, G') et, toujours pour le mouvement, ce côté (204) est fixé à des câbles de traction transversaux (7), positionnés au-dessus desdits câbles transversaux fixes (3) et desdits câbles longitudinaux fixes (2) des structures (G, G') et de préférence à une hauteur légèrement supérieure à leur hauteur afin de ne pas être entravés par ces câbles fixes (2, 3). Sous les feuilles (4) se trouvent des câbles supplémentaires et au moins souples (14), dont tout ou partie peut être fixée, mais qui sont de préférence mobiles conjointement à des câbles de traction (7) et dans la même direction que ceux-ci. Ces câbles supplémentaires (14) ont pour fonction de maintenir les feuilles (4) dans une position relevée à tout moment et d'assurer la réduction transversale complète et correcte de leur dimension totale, avec la rétraction pliée sous la forme de soufflets au-dessus de chaque rangée et de lier les mêmes feuilles (4) dans la position rétractée. Les feuilles sont positionnées entre les câbles de traction (7) au-dessus et les câbles supplémentaires (14) au-dessous de façon à flotter pratiquement entre ces câbles, pour empêcher le frottement et l'usure du système pendant l'extension et la rétraction de ces feuilles (4).
