Automatic Gated Pipe Actuator
US Patent:
2010032, Dec 23, 2010
Filed:
Aug 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/868070
Inventors:
Charles Kelly Cox - Delta CO, US
International Classification:
G05D 7/06
US Classification:
700284, 700282
Abstract:
An automatic flow control actuator having a weather resistant housing affixed to a transmission pipe or tubing to selectively control the flow of a fluid or gas to a discharge orifice via a valving mechanism connected to a control unit that controls the flow control actuator to move the valving mechanism variably between an open flow position and a closed no flow position. In one embodiment an automatic gated-pipe actuator is disclosed having a base plate affixed to an irrigation pipe, a weather resistant automatic gated pipe gate control unit case affixed to the base plate, a automatic gated pipe gate control unit disposed within the case, an irrigation valve and a mechanical actuator operably coupled to the gate control unit and to the irrigation valve wherein the mechanical actuator will actuate and alter the disposition of the irrigation valve to an open or closed position. The gated-pipe actuator may also utilize a memory for storing program instructions, a timer module, a power storage unit, a power charging unit, a manual override, a communications port, and a motor whereby the microprocessor controller instructs the motor to actuate in response to a set of instructions. The automatic gated-pipe actuator may control more than one irrigation valve and may have more than one motor to drive the mechanical actuators. The automatic gated-pipe actuator may receive commands from a control or moisture sensing unit. Thus, the automatic gated-pipe actuator acts to provide irrigation material to plants in a field based upon a set of instructions.

US Patent:
8457799, Jun 4, 2013
Filed:
Nov 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/624216
Inventors:
Charles Kelly Cox - Delta CO, US
Assignee:
Fine Line Industries, Inc. - Delta CO
International Classification:
A01G 27/00
US Classification:
700284, 239 69
Abstract:
An automatic gated-pipe actuator for controlling flow of an irrigation material to an agricultural region through an irrigation gate in a gated-irrigation pipe. The automatic gated-pipe actuator includes a gate valve for coupling to the gated-irrigation pipe, a gate actuator removably coupled to the gate valve and for actuating the gate valve and an automatic gated pipe gate control unit for controlling actuation of the gate valve. The control unit has a processor unit communicatively coupled to the gate actuator. Upon instruction from the gate control unit, the gate actuator will actuate and alter the disposition of the gate valve thereby altering the flow of irrigation material through the irrigation gate and to a portion of the agricultural region adjacent the irrigation gate.
