SPRINKLING MACHINE FOR STUDYING FREE-FLOW WATER CONDUCTIVITY OF SOILS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A01G25/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: sprinkling machine is made in the form of plow beams of tubes with holes. Holes are drilled at an angle to each other and placed upwards so that the jets of water in the air collide and partly break into droplets. Eventually, the stream energy is extinguished in the deflector. The deflector is made in the form of an inverted upside-down dripping pan with borders. The deflector is installed coaxially above the sprinkling machine. The distance between the sprinkling machine and deflector is adjusted by the threaded bolts and lock nuts. Sprinkling machine and a deflector are mounted on the water-conducting pipeline. The pipeline has a view of a two-arm lever with equal moments of force and fixed to the support of the coaxial tubes. The support is provided with a base and anchors.

EFFECT: providing accurate accounting of artificial rain precipitation over a wide range of regulatory structures, rain intensity, droplets size and their kinetic energy.
