MULTI-SECTION CIRCULAR SPRINKLING MACHINE WITH SMART MODULE Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A01G25/09 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture; it can be used for irrigation of crops by sprinkling. A multi-section circular sprinkling machine contains a central fixed support with a rotary knee, sprinkling nozzles placed on sequentially connected pipeline sections. Each pipeline section is made in the form of a three-dimensional truss, one end of which is placed on an intermediate self-propelled support trolley, and the second end is connected to the previous pipeline section by means of a cardan-type hinge joint. At the same time, the sprinkling machine has a GLONASS receiver, a signal analyzer unit, and a control board is installed on the central fixed support, in which protective equipment and a control panel with a smart module placed in it, connected to an interface device, an electric energy meter, a contactor and a timer, are placed. The smart module is designed to make decisions for controlling the irrigation process, machine movement, processing and storing information coming from the signal analyzer unit from humidity sensors installed on four sectors of the irrigation site along the radius of each sector through 35-40 m, and a weather station via a GLONASS satellite to the GLONASS receiver.

EFFECT: sprinkling machine provides an increase in the quality of irrigation by changing the irrigation rate in accordance with the level of moisture reserves of the field sites at the time of their irrigation.
