	center
 pivot sprinkler irrigation machine (center pivot irrigation system), 
also known as clockwise type sprinkler, will be equipped with a nozzle 
pipe support in the automatic walking bracket, around the water supply 
system of the center point boundary side rotation irrigation of 
large-scale irrigation machine.
 the advantages and disadvantages of the first sprinkler irrigation machine and the use condition
 
 compared with other sprinkler irrigation equipment, the central axial 
sprinkler irrigation system has the following advantages and 
disadvantages.
 
 one, advantages
 
 1, the central branch 
of sprinkler irrigation is by far the highest degree of automatic 
sprinkler irrigation equipment, can save a lot of labor.
 
 2, 
center shaft type sprinkler unit inlet is located in center of the lower
 portion of the support, as the center of the support is fixed, so water
 supply system is very simple.
 
 3, the guidance and 
synchronization control system is only related to the fixed center 
support, reliable operation, simple management.
 
 4, after the 
completion of a water cycle (rotation), the unit stays in the starting 
position, to prepare for the next irrigation.
 
 5, can timely and accurately control the amount of irrigation, convenient management, irrigation water utilization.
 
 6, the central branch of sprinkler irrigation function to improve the efficiency of chemical fertilizer and pesticide use.
 
 7, the irrigation operation flexibility, is conducive to the preparation of practical use of electric power plan.
 
 for all irrigation equipment, in order to reduce the investment in the 
area of irrigation, it should try to use the smallest equipment and 
irrigation area as much as possible. the center shaft type sprinkler, 
due to the cost of the equipment and the unit length is proportional, 
and the irrigation area and the unit length of the square is 
proportional to the, so irrigation area should be is a circular as large
 as possible.
 
 two, shortcomings
 
 1, if you do not use 
angle device, center pivot irrigation machine the irrigated plots of 
circular contour outside left about 20% of the irrigation area, if the 
angle device, significantly increase the cost and complexity of the 
equipment.
 
 2, the intensity of irrigation irrigation area of 
the outer circumference of the circle is very high. if the corresponding
 measures are not taken, the surface runoff is usually generated. when 
the profile is used in the rocker arm, the value is usually greater than
 100mm/h; the modified value is usually greater than 150mm/h when the 
scattering nozzle with a small range is used.
 
 3, the surface 
runoff problem caused by high sprinkler irrigation intensity was reduced
 or eliminated, and the irrigation mode of "ground water irrigation" 
should be used. in extreme cases, in order to avoid the emergence of 
surface runoff, even the center shaft type sprinkler rotates a circle 
set the time required for less than a day. as a result, increased 
political loss and unit maintenance costs, and may reduce the crop 
yield.
 
 4, because the length of the unit did not increase at 
one end, it will increase the irrigation area with a same width of the 
concentric circle, it must be a large number of irrigation water to the 
end of the unit. therefore, with other irrigation equipment (system), 
the water pipe truss along the high water head loss.
 
 5, in the 
slope, the output pipe truss pressure drop in the change of height with 
the location and change. if you do not use a pressure regulator or flow 
regulator, the flow of the nozzle will be a big change, so that the 
uniformity of the unit spray significantly reduced.
 
 6, from an 
economic point of view, the central branch of the irrigation machine is 
usually irrigation larger. if irrigation is small, the central branch of
 the irrigation machine may not be economical.
 
 three, applicable conditions
 
 the central branch irrigation machine is suitable for the irrigation of
 the soil of various textures, as well as a variety of field crops, 
vegetables, economic crops and grass, etc.. china's northwest, northeast
 and north china around and guangdong, guangxi, yunnan guizhou plateau 
vast pastoral areas, where contiguous land, crop are unified, the ground
 pole wu, drainage ditch obstacles can be used.
 
 the second chapter is about the basic knowledge of the central branch irrigation machine.
 
 the working principle and composition of the sprinkler irrigation machine
 
 in the heart a shaft type sprinkler consists of center support, tower, 
spraying truss, the end of the cantilever and the electrically 
controlled synchronization system. several cross truss with shower 
heads, supported on several tower car. the truss is connected with the 
flexible joint, so as to adapt to the sloping field. each tower is 
equipped with about 1km of the motor as the running power, auxiliary 
power available grid and diesel generator set, also equipped with 
special safe and reliable synchronous system controlled by electric for 
hoist motor car of the tower. has the function of automatic warning 
function of rainfall protection and fault. the latest of the tower 
started, according to the working condition, one by one starting 
adjacent tower. all of the tower is a with a running up, around the 
center axis of rotation, in order to achieve a circular area of 
automatic spraying operations.
 
 the composition of the central 
branch of the sprinkler irrigation machine is shown in figure 2.1. as 
can be seen from the figure, center of a typical configuration of 
support shaft type sprinkler irrigation machine consists of a center 
support, truss, tower, the tail ends of the cantilevers, control systems
 and emitters etc. six major components. in addition, sometimes the 
center pivot irrigation system is also equipped with end gun or anchor 
device.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	center support
 bearing in mind is the center of rotation of the sprinkler, is also the
 outlet, its external is a composed of columns, beams and floor of the 
pagoda shaped frame, middle part is rotating sleeve and a support shaft 
in bending. the upper part of the rotary sleeve is fixed on the frame, 
and the lower part is connected with the water source. branch elbow axis
 vertical part is positioned on the rotating sleeve, in which free to 
rotate; the other end is connected with the hand span truss water pipes 
are connected by a spherical hinge, to fit the hand span truss due to 
topographical variation in the generated along the vertical direction of
 the displacement. the floor with anchor bolts fixed on a concrete 
foundation to maintain stability. the main control box is installed on 
the frame of the central support. a fixed point stop device is arranged 
on the rotating sleeve. the electric ring, the lamp and the pressure 
gauge are arranged on the horizontal pipe of the supporting shaft.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	two, truss
 the truss frame is mainly composed of water pipe, triangular frame 
string and reinforcement etc.. the truss is divided into three types, 
which are divided into the first span, the middle span and the end span.
 in order to to adapt to changes in terrain group level in the length 
direction to ensure sprinkler walking synchronization, and the spherical
 hinge connection is adopted between the span truss, the water pipe by 
flexible joints or rubber sleeve connection. truss span (length) is 
usually 30~60m, the most common truss span length of 40~50m. water pipe 
nominal diameter is 100~250mm, the water pipe nominal diameter is the 
most commonly used 168 (165) mm.
 
 because of the flexible 
connection between the cross truss, the central branch of the irrigation
 machine in the unit length direction of the direction of the slope of 
30% (16.7) of the block. in relatively shallow furrow in the field 
conditions, the most typical configuration memory unit in the walking 
direction of course adapt to the slope up to 20% (11.3 degrees) plots. 
nevertheless, practical experience proves that the file ridge and furrow
 depth is greater than 0.15, the unit may in the slope is greater than 
15% (8.5 degrees) of the slope in walking. for water transport branch of
 large diameter, long span truss unit, the maximum slope may be slightly
 smaller to. in particular, the idea that the central branch of the 
sprinkler irrigation machine is suitable for flat ground is wrong. it 
can be said that, only to be able to use large and medium-sized 
agricultural machinery to cultivate the land, you can use the central 
branch irrigation machine for irrigation.
 
 the vertical distance
 between the lower part of the truss and the ground is referred to as 
the ground clearance height, and the average is 2~4m, and there are as 
high as 5m. the ground clearance height is determined according to the 
height of the crop height and the length of the unit. needs to be 
pointed out is that if the crop irrigation for potato, wheat and grass, 
dwarf crops and plots in the direction of the unit length of smooth, 
should choose smaller ground clearance height, to improve the unit's 
stability.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	three, tower
 the tower frame car by the column, beam and beam composed of a frame 
and power transmission device, and rubber wheels. the upper part of the a
 - shaped frame and a truss necklace; the lower part of the beam is 
fitted with a wheel reducer, and the rubber wheel is connected. the 
power machine is installed on the beam, to transmit power to the wheels 
through a transmission device, the pudong tower walking forward. the 
transmission device comprises a two stage reducer and a universal joint.
 the power machine can make the motor, gasoline engine or water motor, 
is the most commonly used motor. when the power machine for motor, the 
reducer are made into a whole, so also known as motor reducer; and 
wheels connected to the speed reducer said wheel gear deceleration 
device or secondary speed reducer. reducer gear reducer, can also be a 
worm reducer; but secondary reducer must is worm reducer, because it 
requires a self-locking function, or when the wheels are located on the 
slopes will downhill scrolling.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	1, drive motor power
 the car of the tower drive the magnitude of the power of a motor and a 
reducer types, truss water pipe diameter, truss span and irrigation 
plots of drawings, ridge height and the slope of size. for a reducer 
worm gear reducer unit, due to the low transmission efficiency, power 
motor usually is 1.1~1.5kw; for a speed reducer gear reducer unit, due 
to the high transmission efficiency, motor power usually 0.55~0.75kw.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	2, the sprinkler is not the shortest time required to rotate a circle
 the shortest time required for each rotation of the central branch of 
the sprinkler irrigation machine is calculated according to the 
following formula:
 
 t = 2 pi l/ (60 - nd/i)
 
 2-1 type simple:
 
 t = l/ (30nd/i)
 
 the shortest time required for each rotation of the central branch of the t--- center of the h;
 
 l-- support center to the end of the tower car distance, m;
 
 the n-- engine speed, r/min;
 
 d-- wheel outer diameter, m;
 
 i-- two stage reducer of the total ratio, dimensionless.
 
 such as, a configuration of eight cross 50m truss center pivot 
sprinkler, the distance between the center support to the end of the 
tower for 50 * 8 = 400m; matching engine for motor, rated speed is 1450r
 / min; the wheel diameter is 1.28m; two stage reducer overall ratios 
2500.
 
 the data into 2--2, t = 18h, the shortest time of the unit per turn for 18 hours.
 
 most manufacturing plant for the production of a typical configuration 
center supporting shaft type sprinkler rotates one circle for the 
shortest time is slightly less than 24h. if needed, by selecting larger 
or smaller ratio of the reducer to change center shaft type sprinkler 
not spin in a circle the most short time, through installation and 
adjustment in the main control box is the percentage of timer, you can 
reduce the walking speed of the terminal tower, increasing the time 
required for each turn. this will be in the back.
 
 four, cantilever
 
 the water pipe, the cantilever supporting frame and a wire rope. 
adopting cantilever water pipe flange and the end cross truss water pipe
 end is connected, the nominal diameter is usually smaller than the 
truss water pipe, length less than 20m. the triangle bracket and the 
wire rope is the role of support, stable cantilever water pipe.
 
 cantilever has two functions, one is to increase the length of the unit
 with a smaller equipment cost, expand the irrigation control area; the 
two is to meet the needs of the length of the unit by adjusting its 
length.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	five, control system
 control system consists of a main control box, set ring, tower box, 
sentinel shutdown device and cable. these components cooperate with each
 other, the central shaft type sprinkler synchronization is reverse 
running, walking speed adjustment, operation monitoring, safety 
protection, fault alarm and other functions.
 
 1, the main control box
 
 the main control box is installed on the central support. it is the 
central control of the sprinkler irrigation machine. all the control 
functions of the sprinkler system must be received by the main control 
box, the signal is processed and the instruction is sent out.
 
 the main function of the main control box is as follows:
 
 (1) through the collector ring to the tower box power supply, from the 
tower to the box according to the tower location decision whether to 
supply power to the motor to ensure the synchronization between the 
truss, irrigation machine forward or reverse operation.
 
 (2) by 
installing percentage timer on the main control panel, to adjust the end
 of tower within 1 minute walk, stop time proportional to regulating 
sprinkling machine walking speed, control the amount of irrigation 
(irrigation depth), to meet the crop water requirements. for example, 
percentage timer adjustment for 70%, in a minute before the 70%, namely 
42s time, the terminal tower continuous walking; in the next 30%, i.e. 
18s time, the terminal tower stop.
 
 (3) by means of a voltage 
meter, current meter, thermometer, etc., to monitor the operation of the
 unit in the main control box. when the voltage, current or ambient 
temperature exceeds the set value, the alarm signal is emitted when the 
sprinkler is running.
 
 (4) a signal received from a fixed stop 
device, which enables the sprinkler to remain in a predetermined 
position, and to stop the supply of the water pump.
 
 (5) when 
the terminal tower wheel slippage or can not be blocked moves to get to 
set time limit, any two span truss between the angle is too large (for 
example, more than 1 degree) or water supply pump stops running, and 
display fault tower location.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	2 set ring
 the collector ring is installed in the center seat, which is provided 
with a copper ring and a carbon brush mutually insulated copper ring 
contact with east china. the copper ring is fixed, brush with sprinkler 
rotation. set electric ring, when each span truss around the center of 
the support for the rotary motion, prevent the installation of the tower
 in the center of the support and a main control box and box connection 
cable winding in the center of the support, ensure the smooth of the 
electrical lines.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	3, tower box
 tower box is installed at the upper part of the tower, the back is 
installed synchronous control angle adjusting device, operation of the 
micro switch, safety microswitch, ac contactor, thermal relay and a 
tower fault signal generator.
 
 the same step control angle 
adjusting device is composed of the adjusting rod and cam mechanism. 
control angle of synchronous control is not more than 1 degrees. when a 
tower on both sides of the truss is connected at an angle to the angle 
and operation of micro switch normally open contact is closed, through 
the power of ac contactor when the motor is turned on, the tower began 
to walk. when the tower on both sides of the truss in a straight line, 
running micro switch normally open contact disconnected, the motor power
 supply is cut off, tower stopped walking. each tower according to the 
adjustment and operation, ensures the synchronization of the sprinkler.
 
 the role of thermal relay is that when a tower of the motor overload, 
cut off power to prevent the motor from being damaged due to 
overloading. in recent years, due to the motor reducer itself has 
overload automatic protection function, the tower box usually is no 
longer installed thermal relay.
 
 the normally open contact tower
 car fault signal generator and safety micro switch connected. when the 
time of the accident, the safety micro switch normally open contact is 
closed, the signal generator to the main control box to send a fault 
where the tower signal.
 
 times and the end cross tower box in 
addition to the installation of the electrical components, is also 
provided with a time relay, when the terminal tower wheel slippage or 
can not be blocked before reaching the set limit, time relay normally 
closed contact is disconnected, the ac contactor to sprinkler and water 
pumps stop running.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	six, fountain
 in the irrigation industry, the emitter is general sprinkler, drip, 
micro sprinkler, water gushing water first device. suitable for the 
central support of sprinkler irrigation machine is the main type of the 
radial head and scattered type nozzle.
 
 1, rocker type nozzle
 
 the specification model of the rocker type nozzle is a lot of, which is
 used for the main supporting of the central support. impact sprinkler 
are installed in the upper part of the water pipe truss, the jet flow 
fired and the horizontal plane into certain angle (nozzle elevation) in 
the air.
 
 compared with the scatter type nozzle, the biggest 
advantage of the radial head is far. this is especially important for 
the soil with low permeability and low speed, because the larger the 
range of the water, the smaller the size of the unit area, that is, the 
intensity of spray irrigation machine. there are two disadvantages of 
the radial head, one is working pressure, the high cost of water supply 
pump, the two is the height of the injection, and the loss of 
evaporation drift is large. in order to reduce the height of the 
injection, the low elevation angle arm type nozzle was developed.
 
 most of the nozzle of the radial head is straight cone. when the 
pressure of the unit changes, the flow rate of the nozzle is basically 
unchanged. when the elevation of irrigation plots, or water supply water
 source is more than one user, the water pressure may fluctuate, should 
be considered when using this nozzle (nozzle).
 
 2, scattering type nozzle
 
 at present, there are many different kinds of scattering nozzles 
applied to the central support system. scatter type nozzles are usually 
used to install the suspension hose under the truss, and some even reach
 the canopy of the crop.
 
 the advantages and disadvantages of 
the scattering nozzle is the opposite of the radial head. the existing 
problem is that sprinkler irrigation intensity is big, easy to produce 
runoff; but the range is small, the nozzle is arranged in a small 
amount, the number of nozzles is much more.
 
 at present, the 
center pivot irrigation system at home and abroad, most of the jet 
nozzle america rumors. need to remind a bit, the scattering nozzle 
nozzle size is usually adopted 2 kinds of expressions, which is usually 
to 1 / 64 or 1 in 128 inches and said nozzle size 10/64 inches (4.00mm) 
may also 10/128 inches (200) mm.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	seven, end spray gun
 at the end of the tail end of the spray gun is installed in suspension.
 the so-called end of the spray gun, in fact, is a medium range rotary 
nozzle. the center shaft type sprinkler truss and the bracket section 
most of the scattering nozzle, terminal unit of pressure is very low, so
 we need a booster pump are installed in the upstream end of the spray 
gun in order to meet the cosco range of rotating sprinkler working 
pressure of demand.
 
 there are three functions of the 
installation of the end of an installation. one is to increase the size 
of the unit irrigation radius, expand the irrigation control area, the 
end of the spray gun in the operation of the unit has been running, the 
unit's irrigation area is a radius of the circle. at the end of the gun 
only in square plots of four corners near running, to compensate for had
 not poured into the region, when the field near the unit at the end of 
the poles, trees and other obstacles, avoid obstacles.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	eight, anchor device
 angle angle angle device arm, arm device or anchor arm system. the 
so-called angle device, it can be considered that is in center pivot 
sprinkler basic truss end adds a group of flexible truss. at the same 
time, the cantilever is also transferred to the end of the flexible 
truss.
 
 the device was first developed and applied in the united
 states in 1973. the anchor device, center pivot sprinkler irrigation 
chance of any shape of the plots, especially a square block. the length 
of the angle device is long and short, under normal circumstances, the 
typical configuration (approximately 400m field, control irrigation area
 of 750 acres) center shaft type sprinkler irrigation machine angle of 
the device can be adding acres of irrigated area 100~135.
 
 the 
emergence of the ground angle device, customer service the central 
branch of the irrigation machine can only irrigation round area of 
defects, is a happy thing. but we must also realize that angle device of
 walking and spray control system is complicated, the cost is relatively
 high, there are not suitable for popularization and application in our 
country is. according to a us colleague, of approximately 400m long 
typical configurations of center pivot sprinkler irrigation machine, 
angle unit price is about 2 / 3 of the typical device; the united states
 currently has three states with angle device center pivot sprinkler 
irrigation machine more, but its use accounted for only 10% the left and
 right.
 
	
 
	
 
	  
	
 
	sprinkler layout of the second section
 the main factor that should be considered when designing a central 
support sprinkler irrigation project is to select the combination of the
 nozzle. the distance between the nozzle and the type or size are the 
two main variables.
 
 the goal of irrigation is to provide the 
most uniform distribution of water. the coverage area of the distal end 
of the central branch of the sprinkler irrigation machine is larger than
 that of the near end truss. therefore, the density and the size of the 
nozzle should be along the water from the center of the distal axial 
branch gradually increased.
 
 most of the center pivot sprinkler 
irrigation machine nozzle is fixed size hole (installed at a specific 
location in the water pipe), and according to the size where the nozzle 
pressure spraying in addition to a certain amount of water. in the 
center of the axial injection machine, due to the relatively small area 
near the center support, only a very small amount of water, so the 
nozzle size is also very small. in many cases, due to the size of the 
required irrigation intensity, it is impossible to create a nozzle that 
can not only meet the appropriate amount of water, but also can not be 
blocked. therefore, the first cross truss may sometimes be too large due
 to nozzle size and excessive irrigation. part of this can be 
compensated by increasing the distance between the nozzles. but the 
nozzle must be close enough to obtain a good cross overlap.
 
 in 
the remote truss of central support, the amount of water required is 
increased, and the nozzles need to be enlarged, so as to meet the need 
of increasing water demand. in some cases, the maximum size of the 
nozzle is not in conformity with the requirements of the maximum size of
 the nozzle, especially when the unit is very long, or the flow is 
particularly large. in this case, may have a three plus at the outlet, 
the installation of two nozzle. other possible solutions are to reduce 
the nozzle spacing, reduce the flow rate or increase the pressure.
 
 the most common three kinds of nozzle spacing in the central branch of the sprinkler system are as follows:
 
 (1) uniform nozzle spacing. unit water pipe nozzle between the 3~12m 
either the same spacing, nozzle flow with them and center pivot distance
 between the increase in direct proportion, spray wetted diameter also 
increased, but not with flow is proportional to. the wetted diameter is 2
 times the range of the spray nozzle.
 
 (2) the nozzle spacing is
 the same. water pipe unit is divided into three or four sections, each 
section using different nozzles spacing, near the center support at the 
greatest distance.
 
 (3) the flow rate of the head is basically 
the same, and the change is very small. this requires the nozzle spacing
 near the center pivot at about 12m, and at the end of the branch pipe 
water decreases to about 1.5m. water pipe nozzle spacing and the nozzle 
to the center supporting shaft radial distance is inversely proportional
 to, so the spacing and radial distance of product is a constant.
 
 the form of uniform nozzle spacing is the most common. in this way, the
 manufacture is simple, and the field installation is convenient. 
however, when the uniform nozzle spacing is used, the high working 
pressure and high working pressure of large size nozzle is required if 
the distance is high. also when irrigation did not cover crop fragile 
soil, water droplets produced by the large size of the nozzle may cause 
surface hardening, thereby reducing soil infiltration capacity, increase
 of surface runoff.
 
 in order to avoid the above problems caused
 by large size nozzles, the nozzle spacing is often used in the same 
way. commonly used method is near the center support one-third water 
branch with 12m spacing of sprinklers, one-third of the intermediate by 
6m and distal one-third by 3m. take this arrangement, the water pipe can
 be using the same 3m hole spacing and not applicable holes available 
blocking plug on. for example, near a center pivot of one-third to water
 directly, each of the four water outlet installed a shower; middle 
third and an outlet septum installed a shower; distal one-third of, each
 water outlet hole are provided with a spray head.
 
 the performance parameters of typical refractive index nozzle for sprinkler irrigation are shown in appendix 2.

 very similar to the shape and pointer type sprinkling machine and by 
more than a dozen tower supports a root elongation spraying pipe, 
walking and spraying. the translational sprinkler is a cross body 
horizontal translation.
